Soggy conditions did not keep Kansas City and Toronto from playing their scheduled game.

Toronto wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher C.J. Edwards, falling to the Kansas City Royals, 5-2. Edwards threw 7.1 innings of 4-hit ball for the losing team. With the win, Kansas City upped its record to 57-53.

Jesús Martínez came through with a big-time hit for Kansas City. The center fielder smacked a grand slam home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 5-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Martínez told the Kansas City Chronicle.
