Díaz Hits 2 home runs in Royals Win
Getting offensive support from Luis Díaz, the Kansas City Royals topped the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-5. Díaz hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for the Royals. The loss has the Blue Jays at 13-16.

Kansas City used a well-timed hit by Joseph Tornatore to capture the win. The second baseman socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the second inning to put the Royals ahead, 3-2. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Tornatore.
