Victory Pushes Blue Jays Record to 9-9
Starting pitcher Nate Pearson held up his part of the bargain, helping the Toronto Blue Jays stymie the Minnesota Twins, 5-1. The Twins fall to 6-12 and continue their unimpressive start to the 2020 season.

The Blue Jays got a big hit from center fielder Randal Grichuk. In the bottom of the eighth, Grichuk pounded a bases-clearing double to left. His 4th double of the season put the Blue Jays ahead, 4-0.

Grichuk called the win "a collective effort."
