Cameron, Back-to-Back Homers Lift Royals Over Blue Jays 2-1, Delay Clinch

The result delayed Toronto's postseason clinch, trimming its AL East lead to two games with seven remaining.

Overview

  • Noah Cameron improved to 9-7 by allowing one run on three hits over 6 2/3 innings for his third straight quality start.
  • Bobby Witt Jr. and Vinnie Pasquantino provided the offense with consecutive fourth-inning home runs, their 23rd and 31st of the season.
  • Carlos Estévez secured his major league-leading 41st save, with center fielder John Rave tracking down two deep flies to end the ninth.
  • Shane Bieber took the loss after yielding two runs in 6 1/3 innings, his first defeat at Kauffman Stadium in nine career starts.
  • Toronto’s skid reached four games with just three total runs in that span, leaving its division edge at two games over the Yankees and the clinch on hold.
