Brett Lawrie and Colby Rasmus each singled to lead off the frame, with Lawrie moving to third on Jose Bautista's fly-out to deep center. Edwin Encarnacion followed with a run-scoring single, sending Rasmus to second.

One out later, Yunel Escobar singled and Rajai Davis drove in a pair with a hit to shallow right, tying the contest.

The next batter, Lind, crushed a Mazzaro offering off the facing of the second deck in right field, and the Blue Jays went on to even their four-game set with the Royals at one win apiece.

Brett Cecil (2-1) earned the decision, allowing three runs on five hits over five frames. The left-hander yielded one walk and struck out three.
