Royals Set Franchise Record With 27 Hits in 20-1 Rout of Blue Jays

The Kansas City Royals delivered a dominant 20-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, setting a franchise record with 27 hits, including three-run homers from Salvador Perez and Jac Caglianone. Perez's 30th home run of the season matched teammate Vinnie Pasquantino, marking only the second time Royals teammates have reached that milestone in a season. Michael Lorenzen pitched effectively for the Royals, allowing just one run in over seven innings. In a separate game, the Royals also snapped the Seattle Mariners' 10-game winning streak with a 7-5 win, powered by Adam Frazier's go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning. The Mariners led initially, but key moments like a bases-loaded walk to Perez and Frazier's homer shifted the momentum to Kansas City. These victories highlight the Royals' offensive strength and ability to capitalize on critical moments against strong opponents.
