Extending their winning skein to four games, the Blue Jays topped the Royals, 3-1. The Jays scored twice in the first inning on a bases-loaded walk to Roy Howell and sacrifice fly by Otto Velez. Velez also cracked a solo homer in the sixth. Jim Clancy scattered six hits in posting his first win of the year. [The Sporting News]
