Twins Edge Past Blue Jays, 2-1
Minnesota Twins starter Kenta Maeda hurled his team past the Toronto Blue Jays, 2-1. Minnesota reliever Tyler Duffey picked up the win, upping his record to 4-4. Dany Jimenez shouldered the loss. Taylor Rogers converted his 16th save in 17 tries.

"Kenta was throwing strikes, locating well," said Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli.

With the victory, the Twins record now stands at 43-52.
