TORONTO (AP) -- Adam Lind hit a three-run homer, Brett Cecil won
for the first time in three starts and the Toronto Blue Jays beat
the Kansas City Royals 6-3 on Tuesday night.
Lind's sixth homer was the big blow in Toronto's six-run fourth
inning. The win put the Blue Jays over .500 at 41-40 at the
midpoint of the season.
The Royals lost for the fourth time in five games since matching
their season high with a four-game winning streak.
Cecil (2-1) allowed three runs and five hits in six-plus innings
to win for the first time since June 17 against Philadelphia, his
first start after being promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas. The
left-hander walked one and struck out three.
