Alek Manoah allowed one hit over seven innings, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his first homer of the season and the visiting Toronto Blue Jays beat the Kansas City Royals 3-0 on Wednesday night.
The Blue Jays broke a scoreless tie in the sixth with a one-out grounder by Matt Chapman, plating Guerrero. With runners at the corners, Chapman appeared to ground into an inning-ending double play, but first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino was unable to handle Bobby Witt Jr.’s low relay after the force out.
The Blue Jays added a pair of runs in the eighth with Guerrero’s leadoff homer and a run-producing single by Chapman. Guerrero and Daulton Varsho had three hits apiece.
