Kansas City Royals starter Jamie Deiter pitched well against the Toronto Blue Jays at Kauffman Stadium, leading his team to a win, 13-2. The Royals raised their record to 66-96.

Jabari Zeno had a big 2-run home run for the Royals in the bottom of the first inning. With Kansas City leading 4-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from 27-year old right-handed pitcher Alan Wright and punished it. The result was his 8th home run of the season, which put the Royals on top, 6-1.

"They beat us like the proverbial rented mule," said losing manager Wilfredo Boscan.
