Braun, Blue Jays Sink Royals Again in Game 3
The Toronto Blue Jays are one game away from a sweep of the Kansas City Royals today after a road win at Kauffman Stadium, 8-5. Blue Jays third baseman Ryan Braun was a key contributor. He went 4-4 with 2 home runs, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Toronto now holds a 3-0 advantage in the best-of-7 Wild Card Series.

Braun contributed in the top of the third. With a runner on 3rd, he hit a 2-run home run. It was one at-bat among others that helped Toronto get the win.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Toronto skipper Toronto GM.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.
