Danny Drips droops as Royals drop third game of homestand

On September 4, 2026, the Kansas City Royals suffered a 9-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. Starting pitcher Daniel Lynch IV made his fifth start as a Royal, but allowed five runs in five innings, marking his worst performance in that role. The offense struggled throughout the game, with Carter Jensen and Bobby Witt Jr. both struggling at the plate.

Nolan Hoffman and Easton McGee both recorded scoreless innings in relief, but failed to prevent the Blue Jays from scoring three more runs. Max Scherzer of the Blue Jays was set to face the Royals in his next start, posting a 6.16 ERA and 5.03 SIERA in his previous outing against the Mariners.
