Toronto got a terrific game from third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Kansas City, 6-5. Guerrero Jr. was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs. Getting the save was Scott Barlow, his 2nd. The win gives Kansas City a record of 8-4.

Nicky Lopez helped out the Kansas City cause in the top of the sixth inning with a run-scoring double. For the game, the second baseman went 2 for 5 with a double.

"We'll just keep our nose to the grindstone," Lopez told the Kansas City Today.
