Before the 2017 season began, the Royals talked about scoring more runs by hitting more homers. So far, that plan has not worked out.

The Toronto Blue Jays dropped to 10-20 with Saturday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, giving them the worst winning percentage in the majors, but manager John Gibbons remains confident his team can get out of its early season struggles. You come back tomorrow -- we've got (Joe) Biagini going," Gibbons said of Sunday's series finale. "We'll get a good outing on the mound, but (Rays starter Alex) Cobb has been good against us, too.
