Royals overcame the absence of 10 unvaccinated players

TORONTO — Angel Zerpa pitched five solid innings in his first major league start, Bobby Witt Jr. hit a tiebreaking homer and the Kansas City Royals overcame the absence of 10 unvaccinated players to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 on Thursday night. “One of the best wins of the year, all things considered,” Royals manager Mike Matheny said.

KANSAS CITY — The Kansas City Royals spent Thursday patching up a roster missing 10 players barred from traveling to Toronto because of their COVID-19 vaccination status while trying to smooth over their damaged image among fans.

Don’t underestimate the underdog.

Royals manager Mike Matheny called his teams 3-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday "one of the best wins of the year," given that they were without 10 players due to Canadas COVID-19 vaccination requirement for foreign nationals.
