Ragans Propels Kansas City to 3-1 Win
In a low-scoring tilt between the Kansas City Royals and the Toronto Blue Jays, Cole Ragans was the difference-maker. The Kansas City left-hander spearheaded the 3-1 win. Nick Burdi picked up the save for Kansas City, his 1st of the year. The win puts Kansas City at 13-19.

It was an impressive turn from the legendarily hard-working Ragans, who tallied 7 strikeouts in 7 innings while allowing just 1 hit. Ragans, who is tied for 6th in the AL in innings pitched with 40.0, goes to 2-2 on the year with 37 strikeouts.

"Cole was Cole," said Royals manager Patrick Ochs. "He gave it all he's got."
