Coming off their third-straight loss, the Royals used a stellar performance from Cole Ragans to end the skid with a 4-1 win. It’s the second time in a week that Ragans has defeated the Blue Jays.
As was the same for Toronto in facing Ragans twice in a week, Kansas City was tasked with Round 2 against Jose Berrios. Similar to last week’s matchup, the Royals didn’t waste much time in tagging the right-hander for a pair of runs.
With Salvador Perez on first, Michael Massey belted his first homer of the year to right-center field — giving the Royals a 2-0 lead in the top of the second.
