MLB:
No Important Notes Today.
Jays:
Happ has won three straight starts with 2.50 ERA and is coming off his best performance of that stretch. He yielded four hits with seven strikeouts in seven scoreless innings of Sunday's 3-1 win over Oakland.
Encarnacion's 16 homers ties him with Mickey Mantle for the all-time AL record in the month and is just one shy of Barry Bonds for the Major League Baseball record.
The last time the Blue Jays were alone in first place in the AL East later than May 29 was in 2000, when they were 46-40 and had a half-game lead on July 6.
Royals:
Vargas threw 6.1 innings of one-run ball and left with a two-run lead, but Kevin Herrera and Tim Collins proceeded to waste the effort by surrendering three runs.
Kansas City halted a four-game slide with 14 hits Thursday after shuffling responsibilities amongst its coaches, making Dale Sveum the hitting coach and Mike Jirschele third-base coach. Pedro Grifol, who took over as hitting coach last season, was reassigned as a catching instructor.
