The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Kansas City Royals 3-0 on Wednesday, ending the Royals' nine-game winning streak. Nathan Lukes hit a three-run homer to account for all of Toronto's scoring, per ESPN.

The Blue Jays' bullpen was the story of the game. Seven Toronto pitchers combined to allow just six hits, according to ESPN. Louis Varland recorded his 30th save of the season, per Sportsnet. Lukes praised the bullpen's performance after the game, telling reporters "They're holding it down."

Toronto has had particular success using bullpen games this season. The Jays used seven pitchers Wednesday, which one report noted can impact roster management for subsequent games.
