Kazuma Okamoto delivered a clutch seventh-inning single to drive in the go-ahead run, helping the Toronto Blue Jays edge out the Kansas City Royals 4-3 and snap a losing streak — their first winning record since early April. With seven wins in eight games, Toronto now ties Cleveland for the final AL wild card spot after a dramatic turnaround from being ten games under .500 just two months ago. Okamoto also doubled earlier, while Nathan Lukes opened the scoring with an RBI single. Despite a solo homer from Royals’ John Rave and late chances against runners in scoring position, Toronto held strong behind Max Scherzer’s five innings and Mason Fluharty’s win. Seth Lugo pitched five for KC, who lost to Craig Kimbrel, and will look to bounce back Sunday with Randy Dobnak on the mound at Kauffman Stadium — where they’ve won 18 of their last 26 home games.
