Jose Bautista hit his major league-leading 26th home run and drove in five runs to back Jesse Litsch, who
picked up his first victory since 2008, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Kansas City Royals 13-1 on Tuesday night.
Bautista, who played for the Royals in 2004, homered in the first inning with Fred Lewis aboard. Bautista has homered in six of his last 13 games. His single in the second scored John Buck, who had
three doubles.
Bautista’s double in a five-run eighth gave him five RBIs to match his career high. It was the fourth time he’s done that, three this season.
Litsch (1-4) was 0-5 with a 7.08 earned-run average in eight starts since beating Baltimore on Sept. 18, 2008. He made only two starts last season before season-ending elbow surgery.
