Dickey shines as Jays beat Royals amid Reyes injury
R A Dickey allowed one run over 6 1/3 innings as Toronto edged Kansas City 3 2. Jose Reyes is likely out three months with a severe left ankle sprain after stealing a base Friday. Jose Bautista hit a two run homer off James Shields, who took the loss. Reyes led the majors with five steals and a .395 average before the injury, while the Jays will lean on rotation depth as they adjust to his absence.

Dickey Dominates Royals as Blue Jays Rally to Win
Dickey, acquired from the Mets after a 20-6 season and NL Cy Young, allowed 0-2 with an 8.44 ERA in two starts for Toronto. He struck out four, walked two, and hit a batter over 100 pitches as Kansas City managed little offense. Jarrod Dyson doubled, then stole third and scored on Getz’s bunt single for the Royals’ only highlight. Janssen closed with a save as Getz scored on defensive indifference and Gordon added a late flyout.
