The Toronto Blue Jays faced the Kansas City Royals in a game where the Jays struggled offensively. The Royals won 6-1, with Michael Massey hitting a three-run shot. Pitcher Chris Bassitt initially performed well but faltered later in the game. The Blue Jays' hitting struggles continue, leading to their 7th loss in 10 games.
The Blue Jays’ offense is an absolute dumpster fire right now. Taking George Springer out of the leadoff spot might help, though. 👀 @birenball https://t.co/iPF9Ripi1h
John Schneider's words beginning to fall on deaf ears as Blue Jays offence continues to falter, from Frank Zicarelli. https://t.co/kl8UHGvame https://t.co/V6Oh36A49Y

Blue Jays fans are frustrated. So is Chris Bassitt. This offence is even worse than last year https://t.co/aEdsOEyXfh
Michael Massey powers Royals past Blue Jays 6-1; Toronto drops back-to-back games https://t.co/BAv7kJ4Y6X
After a 6-1 loss in which the Blue Jays combined for just four hits, Toronto's lineup is struggling badly — and staying the course no longer seems like a certain recipe for the required results. (@bnicholsonsmith) https://t.co/ztwNmAvVcG

#Bluejays fall 6-1 to KC to complete a 2-4 homestand. Three days off in the next eight will be welcome indeed. It's not April anymore.
The Jays drop the series finale to the Royals and have now lost 7 of their last 10 games. 😬 ✅ KC ML (+120) ✅ U 7.5 https://t.co/CIX53ol8t5
FINAL: Royals 6, Blue Jays 1 #HEYHEYHEYHEY https://t.co/gO86BTkCUE
The #Bluejays are in serious trouble. Look at this lineup and these averages. These players have too much ability. They have to make a change at hitting coach and/or manager. https://t.co/wRQ6IxpXMW
Michael Massey three-run shot has the Royals up 6-1 in Toronto https://t.co/NBY1Vu1QFv
Danny Jansen lights up the crowd with a solo shot into #Bluejays bullpen in Deep Left Field with 2out in bot7. #Royals lead is cut to 3-1.
Sheer ridiculousness from Bobby Witt Jr. on that Bichette ground ball up the middle, and we go to bot6 with #Bluejays down 3-0 and the Silver Fox taking over for Bassitt.
We're halfway home in just over and hour and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has the game's only hit so far. Pitching clinic being put on by Bassitt and Lugo. #Bluejays #Royals
#Bluejays put two on for the first time today, on a couple of walks with Daniel Vogelbach beating out a double play ball in-between, but Jansen's cue-ball grounder to second ends the inning. 0-0 to the 5st.
The bad call costs Bassitt nothing but four pitches as he strikes out Massey to end top4. Still 0-0. #Bluejays #Royals Again, if you want back-and-forth with me, come over to BlueSky and follow me there! https://t.co/IOJaxGVXrY
After allowing zero balls in the air over the first two innings, Bassitt gives up three fly balls in top3. Barger makes two very nice catches, one going hard to his right and the other hard to his left, Springer hauls in the other in deep right-centre. 0-0 to bot3. #Bluejays
Top2 was a "King and his Court" inning for Bassitt. Two comebackers to the mound, one grounder to first. He didn't need anybody but Vladdy and Jano. 0-0 to bot2. #Bluejays #Royals Want a reply from me? Come to BlueSky - same handle!
Salvador Perez, who just got my vote for AL Player of the Month, grounds into a fielder's choice to end a hitless top1 for Bassitt. #Bluejays #Royals Wanna chat about it? Join me over at BlueSky - same handle!

We have afternoon baseball in Toronto! After #Bluejays faced #Royals ace last night and were stymied by Cole Ragans, they get to face a guy with a 1.66 ERA today in Sethery Lugo in the rubber match. Chris Bassitt for the home side. It's a new month, so maybe the bats wake up?

Last week, Jose Berrios and the Blue Jays were left frustrated after a rain-shortened loss to Cole Ragans and the Royals. On Tuesday, in the rematch between the two pitchers, Toronto was instead left frustrated by a lack of offence. (@ShiDavidi) https://t.co/BuF234QZ3x
