Royals Top Toronto, 5-4
The Kansas City Royals did just enough to secure a victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, 5-4, in 10 innings at Rogers Centre. Nobody did more than catcher Shawn Foster. Sergio Dotel picked up the save for Kansas City, his 2nd of the year. Kansas City goes to 93-58. The win puts them 8½ games up in their division.

Foster had a game-changing home run in the top of the tenth. On a 2-1 fastball from Juan Gallardo, he banged a solo home run to right-center, giving the Royals a 5-4 lead. It was the 19th home run of the year for Foster.

"Feels good to be on the winning side," said Foster.
