This will be the first meeting between the Blue Jays and the Royals in 2017. Kansas City has won seven of its last 10 home games in this series.

The Blue Jays lost 11-4 to Texas on Thursday. It was the seventh time this season that Toronto has given up 10+ runs in a game; the Blue Jays allowed 10+ runs eight times in the entire 2016 season.

Kansas City scored four runs in the bottom of the eighth inning against the Red Sox on Wednesday to pick up the 6-4 comeback victory. It was the Royals' sixth last at-bat win of 2017.

Mike Moustakas' career high for home runs in a season is 22 (in 147 games), which he accomplished in 2015. He already has 19 home runs (in 65 games) this season. He is batting .342 with six homers and 20 RBI in June.

J.A. Happ already has as many losses (4) in 2017 as he did in the entire 2016 season (20-4). However, after going winless in his first five starts this year, he has now won back-to-back appearance, allowing three ER while walking just one batter and striking out 17 in 12.2 innings of work.

After going undefeated (2-0) in his first five career appearances, Jake Junis suffered the first defeat of his MLB career when he allowed five runs (all earned) on eight hits in 5.1 innings of work in his June 17 loss to the Angels.
