Alfonzo Swings Blue Jays to 8-5 Win
Edgardo Alfonzo left his imprint on the 8-5 Toronto win against the Kansas City Royals. Alfonzo, who is tied for 8th in the AL with a .431 on-base percentage, was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Toronto reliever Rheal Cormier picked up the win, upping his record to 4-2. Jason Isringhausen was saddled with the loss. Picking up his 23rd save was three-time All-Star David Weathers.

Toronto used a timely hit from Willie Greene to get the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 6-5. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"I like our mindset right now," said Toronto manager Anthony Shedden.

Toronto is now 71-67, while Kansas City is 72-65.
