Royals Win Thriller, 14-10
Toronto first baseman Wilmer Flores pounded Kansas City Royals pitchers at Kauffman Stadium, but it was not enough to keep the Blue Jays from falling, 14-10. Flores belted 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 4. The Blue Jays fall to 10-14 and continue their sputtering start to the 2024 season.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Kansas City. That's when 27-year old third baseman Rafael Devers hit a grand slam home run off Devin Sweet to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"Nice win for us," said Devers. "Now we'll go after the next one."
