Alejandro Kirk, Ernie Clement and George Springer drove in two runs apiece to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to a 9-2 win over the Kansas City Royals on Friday night. Blue Jays starter Jameson Taillon was making his first appearance since Aug. 10, when he was placed on the injured list with right forearm tendinitis. Kirk and Clement each had a double among their two hits as the defending AL champion Blue Jays (71-71) got back to .500 for the first time since they were 39-39 on June 22.
