Spirited fans greeted the Toronto Blue Jays for their clash with the Kansas City Royals.

The Kansas City Royals topped the Toronto Blue Jays, 5-2, the lion's share of the credit going to left fielder Carlos Beltran. On the day, Beltran was 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Royals. Will Cunnane, now 4-0, was credited with the win in 1.1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 1 and walking 0. Ryan Wagner earned his 32nd save in 34 chances.

With Kansas City leading 2-1 in the top of the third, Beltran hit a fastball from Ian Snell for a 2-run home run. It was his 14th home run of the season and put the Royals ahead, 4-1.

Said losing manager Buck Martinez: "The at-bats, obviously, needed to be better."

With the win, Kansas City upped its record to 57-48.
