TORONTO — Justin Turner had a two-run homer in the first inning and added a solo shot in the third as the Toronto Blue Jays held off the Kansas City Royals 6-5 on Monday.
Genesis Cabrera , Trevor Richards, Tim Mayza, Erik Swanson and Nate Pearson came on in relief for the Blue Jays, with Pearson earning his first season of the year. Kansas City opened the scoring in the first when Velazquez's double handcuffed Blue Jays third baseman Addison Barger, allowing Bobby Witt Jr. to head home. Barger, who normally plays in left field, overthrew to second so Velazquez could get to third.
Turner drilled his second homer of the game 368 feet, again to left field, to lead off the third inning. His fourth of the season again came off of Bowlan's breaking pitch, this time a 95 m.p.h. sinker. Isbel chipped away at Toronto's lead in the fourth with his single to right giving Fermin time to score from second.
Schneider tacked on a run in the fifth with a bouncing single that cashed in Daulton Varsho from second for a 5-3 Blue Jays lead. It was Schneider's 12th RBI of the season, third on Toronto behind Turner and Varsho .
