After dropping the opener vs. the Blue Jays, the Royals turned to Michael Wacha on the mound in the second game of the four-game set. The Royals were kept off the scoreboard until the 5th inning where an error allowed a run to score and cut into the Blue Jays 2-0 lead. Bobby Witt Jr. then stepped in and sent a two-out double into the corner to flip the Royals out in front where they would stay for good. Chris Stratton tossed 1.2 scoreless innings to pick up the win, John Schreiber tossed a scoreless inning of his own, and James McArthur recorded a 6-out save to preserve the lead and even the series vs. the Blue Jays.
