Tyler Tolbert keyed a five-run 10th with a two-run single as the visiting Kansas City Royals defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 7-4 on Sunday afternoon.

Kyle Isbel started the 10th-inning rally with an RBI double against Seranthony Dominguez (2-4) to help the Royals take the rubber match of the three-game series.

Isbel had two hits for the Royals, who started a nine-game road trip with the series win. Ernie Clement and Joey Loperfido had two hits for the Blue Jays.

Toronto scored once against Seth Lugo in the second inning. Bo Bichette led off with a walk and Daulton Varsho walked with two out. Clement's infield single to third loaded the bases for Myles Straw, who stroked an RBI single to left.

The Royals scored once against Chris Bassitt in the fourth. Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia walked with one out. After Bassitt had the grounds crew work on an issue with his landing spot on the mound, he hit Salvador Perez with a pitch to load the bases and Mike Yastrzemski lined a sacrifice fly to left.

Clement led off the home fifth with a walk, took second on a sacrifice and scored on Loperfido's two-out single to center. John Schreiber replaced Lugo, who allowed two runs, four hits and four walks with three strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings.

Brendon Little took over in the seventh from Bassitt, who allowed one run, one hit and three walks with five strikeouts in six innings.

Kansas City forged a 2-2 tie against Louis Varland in the eighth. Bobby Witt Jr. doubled to center with two out and scored on Pasquantino's single to center.

Hunter Harvey (1-0) allowed only an infield single in the bottom of the ninth to set up the Royals' third extra-inning win in the last nine days.

Dominguez allowed Isbel's RBI double that scored automatic runner Randal Grichuk to lead off the 10th. Jonathan India was hit by a pitch and Witt walked to load the bases. Tolbert hit a two-run single. Catcher Alejandro Kirk, activated from the injured list for the game, threw errantly to third on a pickoff attempt to allow a run to score. Garcia added a sacrifice fly.

Nathan Lukes and Addison Barger hit RBI singles against Carlos Estevez in the home 10th.
