Adrian Wyld/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Russ Adams catches Kansas City Royals David Dejesus trying to steal second in the first inning in Toronto, yesterday. The Royals lost, 6-1.
TORONTO — Josh Towers won his third straight start by pitching eight strong innings, and the Toronto Blue Jays ended a four-game losing streak with a 6-1 victory over the struggling Kansas City Royals last night.
Russ Adams hit a two-run triple for the Blue Jays, swept in three of their previous four home series.
Towers (4-1), Toronto's fifth starter, allowed one run and seven hits, struck out five and walked one. He has allowed two runs in his last 22 2-3 innings, dropping his ERA to 3.12, and has given up two runs or fewer in five of seven starts.
Joe McEwing drove in Kansas City's run with an RBI grounder in the sixth.
Kansas City has lost six of seven, dropping to an AL-worst 8-24.
Royals starter Runelys Hernandez (1-5) left with a bruised right upper arm. He was struck by Corey Koskie's liner in the fifth, then threw out Koskie and got the last two outs of the inning. But he didn't come out for the sixth.
Hernandez has lost five straight decisions after winning his first start. He gave up two runs and five hits.
Alex Kros' RBI grounder and Ken Huckaby's run-scoring single gave Toronto a 2-0 lead in the second.
Kansas City's John Buck led off the sixth with a single, advanced to third on David DeJesus' double and scored on
The Blue Jays avoided matching their longest losing streak of the season. They lost five straight from April 20-24.

DL with a sore left elbow. Anderson went 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA in six games. The Royals replaced Anderson by recalling RHP Leo Nunez from Double-A Wichita. Nunez had a 8.31 ERA in eight games at Wichita.

Weak pitching dooms Dodgers
ST. LOUIS — Albert Puijols drove in four runs with two home runs off Odalis Perez, giving him four long balls against the left-hander in only 12 at bats, and Mark Mulder tied his career best with 12 strikeouts in the St. Louis Cardinals' 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers last night.
Mulder, the ace the Cardinals lacked in the playoffs last year, allowed a run and three hits in seven innings, winning his fifth straight start.
In the opener of a four-game series between division leaders, he struck out the side around a pair of singles in his final inning.
Mulder (5-1) struck out 12 for the third time, the first since Sept. 17, 2002, against Anaheim. After a shaky first two starts with his new team, he has a 1.14 ERA in his last five outings. He allowed his only run on Cesar Izuris' two-out, RBI double in the fifth, which stopped an 0-for-12 skid.
Mark Grudzielanek had two hits, and David Eckstein extended his hitting streak to 10 games for the Cardinals, who have beaten the Dodgers six straight times at home counting last year's first-round playoff series.
Pujols hit a solo home run in the first inning into the visitor's bullpen beyond the left-field wall and hit a 3-2 hanging curveball from Perez (4-3) for a
three runs in the fifth inning, putting the Cardinals ahead 4-1. He's 8-for-12 with 12 RBI against Perez.
Perez gave up four runs and eight hits in six innings, losing for the first time in three career decisions at Busch Stadium. He was 0-1 in the playoffs against St. Louis, allowing eight runs in five innings over two starts.
Third baseman Scott Rolen's second fielding error of the game helped the Dodgers score an unearned run in the eighth, when Ricky Lede had an RBI single off Ray King.
Al Reyes got the last out for his third save. The Cardinals are without closer Jason Isringhausen, who is on the disabled list with a right abdominal strain.
Notes
♦ Mulder was the second Cardinals pitcher to strike out 12 this season, following Chris Carpenter's outing April 27 against the Brewers.
- Mulder is 69-5 in 84 career starts when supported by four or more runs.
- Dodgers RF Jason Repkop, subbing for ailing J.D. Drew, nearly made the defensive play of the game in the fifth. He slipped on Grudzielanek's single and bobbed the ball off his face, but recovered to make a strong relay to third that forced Eckstein into a hook slide to avoid being thrown out.
- Pujols has 11 multiple home run games and this was his first this season.
