Jays “Send Saunders” and win big against KC Royals

by  • 

40,000 fans thrilled to the heroics of Canadian-born Michael Saunders Wednesday night at Rogers Centre as the Blue Jays swept the World Series Champions Kansas City Royals 4 to 2. Saunders was making his case. He hit his 16th home run of the season in the fourth inning and a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth to set up a walk off win for reliever Roberto Osuna. “Bobbie, Bobbie” rang around the centre as Osuna baffled the Royals in the top of the ninth. Saunders, 29, is having the best season of his career, posting 40 RBI through his first 78 games. On Tuesday, Saunders was nominated as one of five players vying for the final spot on the American League All-Star team, to be decided by a fan vote.
