Royals unable to overcome rough 6th inning

Royals right-hander Jason Hammel threw 105 pitches over five innings. He held the Blue Jays scoreless until Jose Bautista hit a two-run home run that tied the game in the fifth inning. The Royals used six relievers to finish the game, including three in the sixth inning when the Blue Jays capitalized on two walks, a hit batter and an error to score five runs.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED

Bautista's big shot: Bautista gave the Blue Jays a huge lift in the fifth with his mammoth two-run homer that made it 2-2.
