00:00final day in toronto for the royals if they make it back to canada this year that would mean

00:10postseason for both teams but the first order of business today with another beautiful weather

00:16afternoon a little warm perfect for the roof to be open is to take the series finale these teams

00:22will play again in september in kansas city but this is the final time north of the border royals

00:27of blue jays coming up it will be up to chris bassett to try to win a series today and we know

00:32so often it begins on the mound and chris bassett is towing the rubber today leading off this game

00:37for the royals dh-ing is jonathan india long-haired right-handed hitter it's high and that's ball four

00:44so jonathan india draws a leadoff walk he's on it first with nobody out for bobby witt jr

00:49on the ground to short and bobbled by bichette no outs oh man it looked like it was going to

00:57be a double play ball instead it's an error in a fielder's choice i think that would have been a

01:02routine double play ball it was hit pretty hard at bobbish you can see him think about underhanding

01:08that ball to ernie clement before that ball was actually in his glove i think that messed him up

01:14just a little bit that's a big play in this ball game first and second now and still nobody out in

01:18this first inning and here's another ground ball bichette will step on the bag throw to first

01:23and it took a pitch but they got the double play and if you're the player who just made the air boy

01:30don't you want the next one hit to you to make up for it in the air to right center and not deep at all

01:37it'll be loper fido the right fielder to make the catch and bassett does pitch around the air

01:43seth lugo is making start number 21 he has won his last five decisions the royals have won five of his

01:51last six starts and there's one out loper fido gets to this one didn't hit it all that hard but

01:57he put the bat on the ball and he's got a base hit into left field that bat just took its last swing but

02:03it went down a hero as loper fido's on first with one out vladimir guerrero jr back at first base in

02:09this game after he dhd yesterday runner going that is a strike and that is an out at second base strike him

02:17out throw him out double play to end the bottom of the first inning a perfectly placed sinker for lugo

02:24and a perfect throw from salvador perez four pitch walk by seth lugo to start the bottom of the second

02:31boba shed on first no outs in the bottom of the second and no score between the blue chase and royals

02:37he delivers barger tries to check his swing at a curveball in the dirt appeal to third he went around

02:42strike three so lugo strikes out the lefty barger two k's now for lugo ball for the second walk given

02:49up in the inning by lugo ernie clement had an rbi single in the seventh inning of yesterday's game

02:55the shed at second varsio at first and clement pulls one to the left side a sliding stop by garcia but they

03:02don't get him clement legs it out for a base hit pasquantino did all he could to try and get the out

03:08going into the splits at first base but clearly clement beat it by about half a step bases loaded

03:14two down miles strong lines it into left to base hit one run is home varsio is going to be held

03:23but now they've got clement caught between second and third and now they got varsio caught and the tag

03:31will be applied no now the out is recorded and that ends the inning rbi single though from miles

03:38straw the blue jays score a run on two hits as they take a one nothing lead miles strong with an rbi

03:45single and the blue jays lead one to nothing as we start the third inning blue jays and royals at rogers

03:51center he went around and bassett strikes out rave one down and rave punches out for bassett's first

03:58strikeout of the start top of the order jonathan india who walked to begin the ball game got over

04:05strikes out india on a sweeper outside two punch outs in the frame for bassett in a one two three

04:11top of the third one nothing blue jays blue jays one royals nothing top of the fourth inning with

04:17bobby witt jr leading off the frame at rogers center strike three call as bassett freezes bobby witt jr

04:25bassett's punched out three of the last four he's faced just another good sinker for chris bassett

04:31i mean if you can get bobby witt jr looking like that you know it's a good pitch ball four back-to-back

04:37walks given up by bassett here in the fourth and now you've got salvador perez who has homered in

04:42each of the first two games of this series bassett trying to get in the zone here two walks in the

04:47inning three walks overall in the start so that's what the that's why home plate umpire bruce dreckman

04:53slowly walked out to the mound earlier on in this inning they're going to fix the mound right now

04:58bassett tapping his foot right now into the landing spot and the grounds crew is out on the field

05:03in and hits him change up slipped out of the hand looked like it got the left side or left tricep of

05:09salvador perez and so it loads the bases they've got him surrounded in the fourth inning as mike

05:15yastrzemski heads up to the plate and yastrzemski hits it well to left field vinnie's back to tag

05:21here he comes and the throw it comes in on a bounce and it's cut off and the royals tie it up on a

05:28sacrifice fly from mike yastrzemski here in the fourth it's a 1-1 game the royals have not gotten

05:33a hit yet this afternoon but thanks to some walks a hit by a pitch and a timely fly ball they've been

05:40able to tie this one up for seth lugo who gave up a run in the second inning and he returns to the mound

05:45for the bottom half of the fourth inning larger hits it to the gap it's slicing and a dive and a

05:52catch by rave oh my lord what a catch that was half a dive half a slide some kind of backhand

06:02backside crab from john rave that's an awkward landing he lost the hat and everything and makes

06:08the catch one one game after four innings so the royals still do not have a hit against chris bassett

06:16today he's thrown four no hit innings the royals though do have a run against him one got at the top

06:23of the fifth and kyle is bill comes to the plate that's hard hit and it's off of clement's glove for

06:31the royals first hit a clement lunge to his right actually got the tip of his glove onto the baseball

06:37but he couldn't get all of it and so the royals at long last have their first hit of the afternoon

06:42kyle isbel singles with one out in the top of the fifth inning 0-2 and a ground ball to third barger

06:48comes to get it the play is to first they'll get india's isbel takes second two down step off throw

06:54back to second base that's the third for bassett and that means that isbel is going to take third base

07:02chris bassett actually looking in the dugout right now shaking his head

07:06you don't normally see a mistake like that from chris bassett runner on third with two outs

07:13climbs the ladder with 91 to punch out bobby witt jr and strand kyle isbel on third a successful

07:21sacrifice for straw that pushes ernie clement into scoring position at second base and brings up left

07:28handed hitting joey loper fito now lugo with runners on has held opponents to a 176 average the

07:35lowest in baseball by any pitcher with runners on base with runners in scoring position opponents

07:42are hitting just 188 against him line drive center field base hit clement around third on his way to

07:50the plate and in there loper fito to second he is safe there and the blue jays have the lead

07:57little hanging sweeper from seth lugo don't see many mistakes from him he got his mistake

08:02and he ripped that thing right back up the middle now every run that scored today has initially reached

08:08base via a walk and so far the difference in this game is which team has taken better advantage of

08:13their free base runners ground ball to the right side a sliding stop by clement and he'll throw him out

08:21two down a little bit of a skip a really nice play from him on that short hop popped up guerrero and

08:29clement coming together ernie makes the call and a one-handed catch that ends the top of the sixth inning

08:35six innings of one run one hit ball from chris bassett 2-1 blue jays
