The Toronto Blue Jays bested the Kansas City Royals, 8-7, at Rogers Centre. Elvis Andrus was named player of the game. He went 4-4 with 3 doubles and a walk. Toronto, at 14-3, has sizzled in the early going.

Andrus had a game-changing double in the bottom of the eighth. On a 3-1 fastball from Arodys Vizcaino, he banged a run-scoring double to left-center, giving the Blue Jays a 8-7 lead. It was the 6th double of the year for Andrus.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Kansas City manager Bryce Shuck. "The effort was great."
