The Toronto Blue Jays besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Kansas City first baseman Sean Casey by beating the Royals, 6-5, at SkyDome. Casey was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Scott Bankhead, the winner, improved to 5-1. He held Kansas City to 3 runs on 6 hits over 6.1 innings, while racking up 8 strikeouts. Toronto raised its record to 19-14 with the win.

The Blue Jays got an important contribution from catcher Brandon Inge, who in the bottom of the fifth hit a changeup to right for a run-scoring double. It was his 4th double of the season and put the Blue Jays ahead, 6-1.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Inge, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
