Kansas City Royals belt three homers in 15-5 rout of Toronto Blue Jays
TORONTO — The Kansas City Royals were aggressive from the start Wednesday night and it paid off with one of their more lopsided wins of the year.
Swinging regularly at the first pitch against Brett Anderson, the Royals chased the Toronto starter early in a 15-5 rout of the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.
Salvador Perez hit a two-run homer in Kansas City’s eight-run second inning and Whit Merrifield and Mike Moustakas added solo shots in a four-run sixth. The Royals outhit Toronto 18-6 and ended a three-game losing skid.
“They came out swinging and they didn’t miss,” said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons.
