Blue Jays Sneak Past Royals, 8-7
The Kansas City Royals got a superb performance from first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Toronto. The Blue Jays won the game, 8-7. Pasquantino went 2 for 3 with 2 singles and 2 walks. He scored 2 times. Toronto reliever Chad Green picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. Alec Marsh absorbed the loss. The Royals fall to 10-13 and continue their uninspiring start to the 2024 season.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who finished 2nd in the AL in hits with 188 in 2021, aided the Toronto cause with a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth. For the game, the first baseman went 2 for 5 with a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Guerrero Jr. said after the game.
