Springer’s bat, Gausman’s pitching too much for overmatched Royals

George Springer smacked two home runs and drove in four and Kevin Gausman allowed just two hits over eight innings in a 5-1 Blue Jays win Saturday afternoon.

Royals opener James McArthur cruised through his two innings as opener, retiring all six hitters, five on ground outs, including a terrific barehand play by Bobby Witt Jr.

Zack Greinke came in after that, and after a 1-2-3 third inning, gave up a solo home run to George Springer in the fourth to put the Jays on the board.
