Mistakes prove costly as Toronto Blue Jays fall to surging Kansas City Royals
3 minute read Yesterday at 10:26 PM CDTTORONTO - Mistakes proved costly for the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night in a 5-3 loss to the surging Kansas City Royals at Rogers Centre.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. made a throwing error in Kansas City's two-run sixth inning and Nathan Lukes was thrown out at second base to end the game after hitting a two-run single.
"Everything gets magnified when you're not scoring and then you get a little bit over-anxious I think when you try to make something happen," said Blue Jays manager John Schneider.
The sellout crowd of 43,245 came to life when Lukes stroked a ball to left-centre field with two outs in the bottom of the ninth.

Blue Jays ace Dylan Cease loses a no-hit bid against the Yankees in seventh inning
4 minute read Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026NEW YORK (AP) — Dylan Cease’s latest no-hit bid featured five walks and a rising pitch count into the seventh inning.
It made Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider’s decision on when to lift his ace a little less agonizing.
Cease lost a no-hit bid with two outs in the seventh inning against the New York Yankees on Saturday when he allowed a clean single to Jazz Chisholm Jr.
On his 106th pitch, Cease gave up a single to right field on a 97.1-mph fastball to put runners at first and second. After allowing the hit, Cease gave up an RBI single to Austin Wells and was lifted by Schneider. Spencer Miles replaced Cease after 111 pitches.

Giancarlo Stanton strains left calf running the bases, putting his return to the Yankees in doubt
4 minute read Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026NEW YORK (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton suffered another setback in his recovery from a strained right calf when he strained his left calf while running the bases earlier this week, putting his return to the New York Yankees by the end of the season in doubt.
Before the Yankees continued a three-game series with the Blue Jays on Saturday, manager Aaron Boone said Stanton strained the other calf when he fell down on the bases.
“It’s a moderate grade,” Boone said. “What that means moving forward, we’re not ruling anything out. He’ll obviously continue to work to try and get it right and hopefully be available but obviously we’re at a point in the calendar where it gets challenging, but you also never know, obviously bummed for him.
“Been working his tail off every single day here trying to get this right. I think you all know how bad he wants to be on that field and contributing to a championship. So obviously that’s disappointing but hopefully we just continue to work and get him healthy."
