Slugger Steve Balboni broke an 0-for-11 slump with a two-out bloop single in the eighth inning, driving home George Brett last night and ending the Kansas City Royals' 10-game postseason losing streak with a 6-5 victory over Toronto.

The victory cut the Blue Jays' lead in the best-of-seven American League playoffs to 2-1.

Brett, who went 4-for-4 with two home runs and a double, started the winning rally with a single. He moved to second on a sacrifice by Hal McRae and took third on an infield out.

The Blue Jays walked Pat Sheridan intentionally to pitch to Balboni. But Balboni, who set a team record with 36 homers this season, hit a blooper into center field that fell between the outstretched gloves of shortstop Tony Fernandez, second baseman Damaso Garcia and center fielder Lloyd Moseby.

Balboni got his game-winner off loser Jim Clancy, who relieved in the eighth. Steve Farr pitched shutout relief during the final 4 1-3 innings for the victory.

Kansas City ace George Brett homered in the first and doubled and scored in the fourth.
