Before sending nearly 20 per cent of its roster to the all-star game, the Toronto Blue Jays needed vital contributions from some of those players, plus a stellar outing from starter Jose Berrios, to defeat the Kansas City Royals. ByDavidSingh
needed vital contributions from some of those players to earn a needed win on Sunday.
The win allowed the Blue Jays to close out their first half at 50-43, which is an improvement over last season’s 45-42 record at this time. While things haven’t seemed to have gone that smoothly during the past four months, 50 does represent a nice, strong number. Nonetheless, the Blue Jays did what they had to do and improved to 4-1 under interim manager John Schneider.
However, Berrios recovered from that by using his curveball to get back-to-back strikeouts. He allowed a home run to first baseman Nick Pratto in the second inning to put the Royals up 2-0, but settled down nicely from that point on, facing the minimum over the next four innings.
