The Blue Jays were giving the Royals every chance to take the game early, but despite all the free passes the Royals couldn’t do anything with them. They didn’t even get a hit until the 5th inning, despite scoring a run in the 4th.
Seth Lugo didn’t have his best stuff or control but battled against a tough offense. The two runs he surrendered reached via a walk and came around to score on two out singles.
Lugo’s final line was 4 2⁄3 innings pitched, 4 hits, 2 runs, both earned, walked four and struck out three.
