Lester regains form with 6 scoreless, 8 K's
Gaviglio fans Perez in the 1st KANSAS CITY -- There were encouraging early signs that Blue Jays starter Sam Gaviglio might be on his way toward getting his first victory since May 25. But after a bizarre balk sequence in the fourth inning, nothing much went right for the right-hander.
Instead the Royals used a three-run rally in the fourth as a springboard to a 6-2 victory on Thursday night at Kauffman Stadium. That meant Gaviglio's winless streak reached 15 starts, which tied Ricky Romero for the second-longest streak in club history. It was all going according to plan for Gaviglio as he held a 2-1 lead in the fourth with two out and none on.
