Royals Trip Blue Jays, 6-5, in Extra Innings
The Kansas City Royals knocked off the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-5, at Kauffman Stadium. It took 11 innings. Travis Shaw was a prime reason Kansas City won. The third baseman was 2 for 2 with a home run and 3 walks. Kelvin Herrera snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits over 3 innings. He's now 6-6 on the season. With the win, the Royals hiked their record to 70-64.

The decisive blow was delivered by Nick Williams in the bottom of the 11th when he hit a solo home run off former first round draft pick Hisashi Iwakuma to win the game for Kansas City. The home crowd went nuts.

"Our team showed some gumption," said Williams. "I like it."
