Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the Kansas City Royals got the win.

Though he had a stellar game, Joe Carter could not prevent his team, the Toronto Blue Jays, from losing, 4-2, to the Kansas City Royals. Carter hit 2 home runs. Kansas City pitcher Zack Greinke got the win. He's now 7-4. Dave Stieb was tagged with the loss.

The Royals benefited from a costly error in the top of the third. With Mike Sweeney at bat and Kansas City leading 2-1, the Toronto miscue allowed Kansas City to plate 1 and take the lead, 3-1.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Sweeney. "It sure beats the alternative."

The third-place Royals have a record of 26-31.
