Box Score

It's finally over, the seven game losing streak came to an end as Greinke pitched 7 innings of 1 run ball. The thing is the Royal's bats, again struggled early, and the Royals were clinging to a 1 run lead when Greinke exited. Leo Nunez started the 8th and the Jays wasted little time in tying the game, eventually overtook, and extended their lead 4-1.

Then it happened, the bats finally stepped up and won a game. The Royals batted around and some, scoring 6 runs in the bottom of the eighth; the 6 runs were the most the Royals had scored in any game thus far. Soria came in to finish the game and pitched a perfect 9th as the Royals won 8-4.
