Royals Beat Toronto, 3-2
Kansas City Royals starter Larry Christenson turned in an exceptional performance against the Toronto Blue Jays at Exhibition Stadium 1977, resulting in a Kansas City win, 3-2. Now 11-17, the Blue Jays have not played well this season.

Kansas City used the clutch hitting of Rickey Henderson to snag the win. The center fielder drilled a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to put the Royals ahead, 3-2. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"I felt we were ready to go," said Kansas City manager Luca Mac Craken. "Our pregame was pretty good."
