Royals Drop Blue Jays, 2-1, with Late Score
In a well-pitched game between the Kansas City Royals and the Toronto Blue Jays, pitcher Phil Evans was superb. The Kansas City left-hander helped his team win, 2-1. The last-place Blue Jays have lost 4 straight games.

Kansas City used a clutch hit from Jeff Freeney to get the win. The pinch hitter drilled a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Royals ahead, 2-1. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a doozy.

"If you ever get this game figured out," said Toronto manager Juan Alberto Pena, "let me know."
