Last night, the Royals had been unable to get much offense going against Blue Jays lefty Yusei Kikuchi. When Adam Frazier doubled off reliever Erik Swanson in the seventh, they had an opportunity to cut into the 5-2 deficit. Frazier advanced to third on a fly ball hit by Kyle Isbel, and with one out, he had a terrific chance to score.
Michael Massey hit a grounder to first and Frazier was off on contact. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. threw home and got Frazier at the plate for the second out. Dairon Blanco struck out and the inning ended with another goose egg on the scoreboard for the Royals.
