KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Royals offense has been historically bad of late.The Royals set a club record by scoring three or fewer runs in a ninth consecutive game, and Devon Travis hit his second homer of the game in the ninth inning to lift the Toronto Blue Jays over Kansas City 4-3 on Friday night.The Royals have averaged 2.2 runs and hit .205 in this stretch.Its a broken record, Royals manager Ned Yost said. We just have to find a way to put some runs on the board.With one out in the ninth inning, Paulo Orlando reached second on a throwing error but was caught trying to steal third base. Jarrod Dyson then got a pinch-hit single that likely would have scored Orlando from second base.He didnt get a great jump, but he didnt get a horrible jump, Yost said. We cant sit back. We havent got a lot of hits in the last couple of weeks. Youve got to try to put yourself in position to tie that ball game without the benefit of a hit.Travis led off the game with a home run, then ripped a 1-2 pitch from Kelvin Herrera (1-3) into the Royals bullpen for his first career multihomer game.It definitely up and out of the zone, Yost said. Ive never seen anybody hit a pitch like that off of Herrera.Travis hit Herreras 97 mph high fastball.I dont know how the guy hit that ball, Herrera said. I was shocked.Travis is not sure how he hit it that far either.I kind of blacked out, Travis said. Im going to go look at the tape. I just tried to open my eyes as wide as I can against him. Hes hard enough to see, a hundred (mph fastball) as it is. Im just thankful everything worked out.Left-hander Brett Cecil (1-6) pitched a spotless eighth for the victory.Francisco Liriano made his first start with the Blue Jays after being acquired in a trade Monday with Pittsburgh and yielded three runs, seven hits and two walks while striking out three. Liriano had allowed 11 runs, 14 hits -- including four home runs -- and eight walks in 8 1/3 innings while losing his final two starts with the Pirates.Joaquin Benoit worked the ninth for his first save since Sept. 3 while with the San Diego Padres. Closer Roberto Osuna was unavailable after pitching the previous two days and in three of the past four.Right-hander Dillon Gee held the Blue Jays to three runs and four hits over six innings. He gave up a leadoff homer to Travis, then worked his way into and out of a bases-loaded jam in the first.Theyre a great lineup, Gee said. I was just trying to give us a chance to win. I was able to do that. I didnt feel great tonight. It was a battle for sure.Gee walked Josh Donaldson and Edwin Encarnacion in the third and both scored. Michael Saunders double scored Donaldson, and Encarnacion came home on Troy Tulowitzkis groundout, giving the Blue Jays a 3-1 advantage.The Royals tied it in the fifth on Orlandos leadoff home run and Lorenzo Cains run-producing triple with two outs.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: RHP Kris Medlen (rotator cuff inflammation) threw a bullpen session and could begin a minor league rehab assignment soon. ...

The Anahim Lake, B.C., native was stellar in making 39 saves in his home province and Lars Eller got credit for a bizarre short-handed winner as the Canadiens defeated the Canucks 4-1.Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed and linebacker Sua Cravens both were downgraded from questionable to out for Sundays game against the Philadelphia Eagles because of concussions.Reeds inability to play was not a surprise considering he was unable to practice all week and has now been diagnosed with at least five concussions since he started playing college football. Reed has been diagnosed with at least three concussions in the NFL, including one last season that caused him to miss two games. The Redskins lost both contests.Reeds latest injury occurred in Sundays win over the Baltimore Ravens, but he did not complain of any symptoms until Tuesday, when he entered the concussion protocol.His loss is a big one for Washingtons offense, even though it still has talented receivers in DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon and Jamison Crowder. The Redskins also have veteran tight end Vernon Davis, who has caught 10 passes this season. Niles Paul is their third tight end, though 15 of his 54 snaps this season have occurred at fullback. He has caught one pass. If the Redskins want to use a three-tight end look, they will use backup tackkle Ty Nsekhe.ddddddddddddReed has been quarterback Kirk Cousins favorite target. In the last two years with Reed in the game, Cousins owns a 70.2 total quarterback rating out of 100, having thrown 32 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Without Reed in the game, Cousins owns a 59.2 total QBR with 14 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.This season, Reed has been targeted a team-high 45 times and leads the Redskins with 33 catches, 316 yards and two touchdowns. Hes a primary target in the red zone as well. In the last two years, 12 of his 13 touchdown receptions have been inside the 20-yard line.Cravens suffered a concussion in a Week 4 win over Cleveland. He did not play against Baltimore, but unlike Reed he was able to participate in practice, though he was limited. The rookie second-round pick has been a key part of Washingtons sub packages. His absence likely will hurt more against Philadelphia than it did versus the Ravens because of how often the Eagles force teams out of their base defensive formations. ' ' '
