The Toronto Blue Jays win 4-2 against the Kansas City Royals.
Kirk's 11th round-tripper provided the Blue Jays with their fifth win in six games after winning just once in 10 outings.
With fellow all-star Vladimir Guerrero on first base after a leadoff single to centre, Kirk smashed a 3-2 pitch off Royals reliever Wyatt Mills in front of 36,681 fans at Rogers Centre. Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano then finished off the Royals with a clean ninth inning for his 20th save. The Blue Jays scored two unearned runs in the third inning to pull even. Santiago Espinal and Guerrero reached base with back-to-back one-out infield hits.
Espinal scored when Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. muffed Kirk's slow-rolling grounder. Guerrero took advantage of the error to move to third and scored on Bo Bichette's sacrifice fly to right field.
