Randal Grichuk added a two-run homer in the eighth for the Blue Jays, who had lost their three previous games. Daniel Hudson (4-2) allowed one hit and struck out three in 1 1/3 innings to pick up the win. Royals left-hander Danny Duffy (3-4) allowed three runs, seven hits and one walk, striking out eight, in 6 2/3 innings. Blue Jays right-handed starter Sean Reid-Foley allowed two runs, five hits and one walk while striking out three in 5 1/3 innings. The Blue Jays activated Justin Smoak (quadriceps strain) from the injured list Friday and optioned outfielder Billy McKinney to Triple-A Buffalo.
