Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Marco Scutaro fields a throw as Kansas City's Miguel Olivo steals second base Monday in Toronto.

Kansas City catcher Miguel Olivo reacts after striking out to end the fifth inning during the Royals' 7-2 loss to the Blue Jays Monday in Toronto.

Toronto ? These days, the Kansas City Royals can’t even keep track of the outs.

Shaun Marcum won for the first time in four starts, Gregg Zaun hit a two-run homer and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Kansas City, 7-2, Monday to complete their first four-game sweep of the Royals.

“We’re not very good right now,” Royals manager Trey Hillman said. “We haven’t been able to put the pitching and the offense together. We haven’t been able to make the offensive adjustments.”

Toronto outscored the Royals, 23-4, in the series and extended Kansas City’s losing streak to eight, the Royals’ longest since Sept. 17-26, 2006. The Royals have been swept in consecutive four-game series for the first time in team history.

Hillman was especially disappointed his team lost track of outs in the eighth. Reliever Joakim Soria lingered near second base with shortstop Tony Pena and second baseman Mark Grudzielanek after an inning-ending double play before the trio led the team off the field.

“That’s very, very disturbing,” Hillman said. “That’s a lack of focus, a lack of intensity, and that’s where we are right now.”

Hillman held a pregame meeting and canceled batting practice, but neither measure worked for Kansas City, which has scored 16 runs during its slide – half in an 11-8 loss at Boston.

“We’ve got to come together as a team,” outfielder David DeJesus said. “It’s easy for everyone to start going their own ways, not caring about anything, but we’ve got to come together. Hopefully, once we get home, we’ll come back and start fresh.”

Kansas City completed a season-long 11-game trip and headed home to play Minnesota.

“We can’t worry about this eight, we’ve just got to worry about tomorrow,” DeJesus said.

Marco Scutaro also homered for the Blue Jays (28-25), who have won five straight and 11 of 14 to move three games above .500 for the first time this season.

“We’re playing as a team,” Scutaro said. “The pitching is good, we’re scoring some runs. That’s what it’s all about.”

Marcum (5-3) gave up two runs – one earned – and five hits in 71â3 innings, lowering his ERA to 2.64. He struck out six and walked one.

The Kansas City, Mo., native is 3-1 with an 1.09 ERA in seven career games against his hometown team.

“I kind of get up for it a little bit but it’s more when we’re in Kansas City, when I’ve got all my friends and family there,” Marcum said.

Jesse Carlson and Jason Frasor completed a seven-hitter.

Toronto center fielder Alex Rios threw out a runner at home plate for the second straight game.

Rios, who erased Jose Guillen on Sunday, retired Alex Gordon trying to come home from second on Mark Teahen’s single in the eighth.

Brett Tomko (2-6) allowed seven runs – six earned – and eight hits in six innings. He has won once in his past nine starts, his ERA rising to 6.11.

“I’m making too many mistakes,” Tomko said. “I’m getting in the stretch and making mistakes out of the stretch, and just not as consistent as I want to be pitch to pitch.”
