| Amos Otis went 4-for-4 and knocked in four runs, pacing the Royals to a 7-4 victory over the Blue Jays, Toronto's 10th straight loss. K.C. snapped a 4-4 deadlock in the eighth inning. U.L. Washington began the rally with a one-out walk to chase starter Mark Bomback. George Brett greeted reliever Jerry Garvin with a single and, one out later, Otis drilled a two-run double off reliever Joey McLaughlin. Brett hit his first homer of the season, a solo shot in the sixth inning. [The Sporting News] |
