Blue Jays Snatch Late Win
The Toronto Blue Jays had to overcome a fine effort from Kansas City pitcher Víctor Jiménez to grab a narrow 4-2 win at Rogers Centre. Jiménez went 6 innings and allowed no runs. Toronto goes to 63-68, Kansas City to 73-58.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Dai-lin Xiu came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Kansas City pitcher Zinedine Azzouzj, he hit a 1-1 cutter for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Toronto on top, 3-2.

Xiu called the win the result of "everyone working in tandem."
