On a Tuesday night in Kansas City, a game Toronto had done enough to win slipped away on a single errant throw. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s throwing error in the fifth inning opened a door the Royals walked through decisively, with Bobby Witt Jr.'s two-run double turning a 2-0 Blue Jays lead into a 3-2 Kansas City victory. Kevin Gausman pitched well enough to deserve better, but baseball has always been a game where one lapse in concentration can rewrite the entire evening's meaning.
