George Brett stroked three singles, extending his batting streak to 28 games, and Larry Gura continued his mastery of the Blue Jays with seven innings of pitching in the Royals' 11-5 victory. Gura raised his career record against the Blue Jays to 9-0 and posted his 17th victory of the season. Brett hit a sacrifice fly for the Royals' initial run in the first inning and then collected his three hits before striking out in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
