Royals

The Blue Jays have won four of their last five games, pushing across at least seven runs in three of those wins. Toronto is a perfect 8-0 this year when scoring four or more runs.

The Royals have dropped five straight to fall to 3-10 on the season. The 10 losses are the most for Kansas City through 13 games since 2012 when they also opened 3-10.

Kevin Pillar is batting .364 (8-for-22) during his current six-game hitting streak. It is the longest hitting streak for Pillar since an eight-game run from August 25 -- September 2, 2017.

Whit Merrifield made his first career appearance in center field, as he started there in Saturday's loss to the Angels. Merrifield has now started at four positions this season: first base, second base, center field, and right field.

Jaime Garcia allowed just four hits over eight shutout innings in his last start against the Royals on June 12, 2015. In five career starts versus Kansas City, Garcia is 1-1 with a 5.68 ERA and .286 opponent batting average.

Eric Skoglund allowed five runs on six hits in 4.2 innings in his season debut against the Mariners last Tuesday. Skoglund is now 0-2 with a 14.00 ERA in his last three starts, after going 1-1 with a 5.59 ERA through his first three starts.

Blue Jays

TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays needed 26 games last season before they won for the ninth time.
This season, the ninth win came in their 14th game Friday night when they overcame a 4-0 disadvantage to defeat the Cleveland Indians 8-4.

Blue Jays host cold Royals

TORONTO (AP)  Even moving indoors couldn't get the Blue Jays back on the field.
Toronto postponed Monday's series opener against Kansas City after chunks of ice crashed down from the nearby CN Tower following a weekend of freezing rain, including one that punctured a hole in the Rogers Centre roof.
