The Royals will celebrate America's Independence across the border in Canada, continuing a series with the Blue Jays in Toronto. Luis Mendoza will take the hill for the Royals, and was strong in his last start (one run on five hits over eight innings) but has a 6.06 ERA in four appearances against the Blue Jays. After a 6-3 Blue Jays win on Tuesday, Toronto now leads the season series 5-1. By winning the rare road series in Toronto, K.C. could close the gap on Detroit for third place in the A.L. Central.
