TORONTO (Ticker) -- Rookie John-Ford Griffin was the latest player to have his way against the losingest team in Kansas City Royals history.

In his first career start, Griffin drove in four runs and Josh Towers recorded his second complete game of the season as the Toronto Blue Jays posted a 10-1 victory over the Royals.

Kansas City (55-105) fell to 21-58 on the road this season and broke the franchise record for losses in a season, surpassing the mark set last year.

"You have a team that has a lot of young players that hasn't experienced success, let alone failure," Royals outfielder Aaron Guiel said. "For a lot of the young players, it's not a good first step for them."

A 25-year old rookie, Griffin was recalled from Class AAA Syracuse on September 6 after leading the International League with 30 home runs and 103 RBI. He was 1-for-4 in his first four contests with Toronto.

"Just being able to get an at-bat was just awesome," Griffin said, "I want to prove that I can play up here. Obviously, I'm not going to start everyday so I'm just trying to play to the best of my ability."

With one out and the game tied, 1-1, in the fourth, Griffin put the Blue Jays in front with a two-run double to right field against Royals starter Zack Greinke . After Russ Adams popped out to second, Frank Catalanotto drove in a pair of runs with a single to cap a five-run frame.

Eric Hinske ignited a four-run fifth with an RBI double, plating Corey Koskie for a 6-1 lead. Shawn Camp relieved Greinke and hit Aaron Hill with a pitch before Gabe Gross grounded out to first and Guillermo Quiroz struck out.

Griffin followed with a two-run single to right, and after Adams singled, Catalanotto drove in his third run of the game with a single to left-center field.

"I'm just seeing the ball good right now," said Catalanotto, who has 10 RBI in his last four games. "You like to finish the season off strong and hopefully and I can continue to get on base this weekend."

Towers (13-12) gave up one run and nine hits with six strikeouts without a walk. The 28-year-old righthander took over the team lead in wins and raised his home record to 5-7.

"We know if (teammate Roy Halladay ) didn't get hurt, I'd have half of his wins," said Towers, who pitched the fourth complete game of his career. "It's all about winning. It means something to me because it's a sign of progress. Each year, I'm getting better."

"Josh went out in style," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "He had a heck of a year."

Greinke (5-17) failed in his bid for his first career three-game winning streak by surrendering seven runs and nine hits in four innings. He moved past teammate Jose Lima for the most losses in the American League.

"I don't think I had much there for the first three innings," Greinke said. "I was telling (catcher John Buck ) that we had to do something because that wasn't going to work much longer."
