Lukes Powers Toronto to 3-0 Win over Kansas City, Ending Royals’ Nine-Game Win Streak
Toronto used seven pitchers and a six-hit shutout to snap Kansas City’s nine-game winning streak and move back into wild-card contention.
- On Wednesday at Rogers Centre, Blue Jays outfielder Nathan Lukes hit a three-run home run to lead Toronto to a 3-0 shutout victory over the Kansas City Royals before a sellout crowd of 42,323.
- Toronto has won 17 of its last 28 games to re-enter the American League wild-card race, while the victory snapped the Kansas City Royals' nine-game winning streak.
- Lukes broke a scoreless tie with his ninth homer of the season in the fourth inning; reliever Chad Dallas earned the win, and closer Louis Varland secured his 30th save by striking out Isaac Collins.
- Despite the win, the Blue Jays remain three games behind the Cleveland Guardians, who defeated the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 earlier on Wednesday.
- Right-Hander Spencer Arrighetti is scheduled to start for Toronto on Thursday against left-hander Noah Cameron, before the teams meet again next week at Kauffman Stadium.
