Alejandro Kirk hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning, sending the Toronto Blue Jays to a 4-2 victory against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
The Royals won the first game of the series Thursday and then dropped the next three.
Royals starter Kris Bubic kept Blue Jays hitters off balance. He was effective against the right-handed heavy Jays, allowing just two unearned runs and five hits while striking out four.
Wyatt Mills (0-1) took the loss in relief.
The Royals will now have entered the All-Star break either tied for or in last place in the AL Central for the fourth consecutive season.
