A squeeze bunt produced the winning run as the Royals edged the Blue Jays, 8-7. The game was tied, 7-7, when Frank White reached first safely with two out in the bottom of the eighth on an error by third baseman Rance Mulliniks. A single by Onix Concepcion advanced White to third, from where he raced home on a bunt by Cesar Geronimo. [The Sporting News]
