The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Kansas City Royals, 7-5, at Rogers Centre. Maake Arnold, who is on pace for 102 RBI this season, was a standout performer for Toronto.

He held Kansas City to 4 runs on 6 hits over 6 innings, while racking up 6 strikeouts. José Amaya recorded the save, his 9th.

Rintaro Ikeda, who is tied for 9th in the AL in RBI with 66, aided the Toronto cause with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the first. For the game, the first baseman was 2-3 with 2 singles and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Arnold told the Toronto Chronicle.

The victory gives the Blue Jays a record of 61-50.
