The Blue Jays roar back to .500 with a 9-2 demolition of the Royals, fueled by three two-run performances from Kirk, Clement, and Springer. After a brutal slump that left them ten games under .500 in late July, this win marks their first .500 mark since June 22—and they’ve won six of their last seven. Taillon exited early with elbow discomfort, but the bullpen shut down the Royals’ offense over seven innings. The Jays exploded for four runs in the first inning, then added key insurance with Springer’s sixth-inning double. Both teams traded solo homers in the ninth, but it wasn’t enough to stop the Jays’ momentum as they gear up for Game 2 tomorrow.
