Minnesota Twins (33-79) 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 6 0

Twins Come Up Short at Toronto, 3-2
Toronto rode a fine outing from starter Matt Altieri to victory over the Minnesota Twins at Rogers Centre. The final score was 3-2. The victory gives Toronto a record of 56-55.

Had Dylan Novakowski not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Novakowski hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Blue Jays.

Novakowski said the team appreciates the support from the fans. "I'm glad we could reward them with a good win," he said after the game.
