KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Sometimes, baseball can be a simple game.

Toronto’s 4-1 victory over the Royals on Wednesday afternoon — completing a three-game sweep at Kauffman Stadium — only further solidified a truth about today’s baseball landscape:

It’s awfully tough to win if you’re on the wrong side of the home run battle.

The Blue Jays knocked two more over the wall Wednesday, continuing a season-long trend against the Royals.

In going 6-1 against KC, Toronto outhomered the Royals in every game. In total, the Blue Jays hit 18 home runs compared to KC’s four.
