Fading Royals Lose 7th Straight
Blue Jays catcher Miguel Amaya put his stamp on his team's 7-3 win over the Kansas City Royals. Amaya went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for Toronto in the contest. The Royals fall to 12-20 and continue their uneven start to the 2024 season.

Amaya had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a 0-2 fastball from Daniel Coulombe, he banged a grand slam home run to left, giving the Blue Jays a 7-3 lead. It was the 2nd home run of the year for Amaya.

"I'm just looking to see the ball, hit the ball," said Amaya.
