Royals beat Jays to snap eight-game skid

Something was missing as the Kansas City Royals celebrated the end of an eight-game losing streak with the customary on-field handshakes: the coaching staff.

Luke Hochevar worked a season-high 6 2-3 innings, Willie Bloomquist hit a three-run triple and the Royals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-2 on Saturday.
