In a low-scoring clash between Toronto and Minnesota, pitcher Victor Zambrano was a difference-maker. The right-hander earned accolades in the 2-0 win. In 5 innings, Zambrano surrendered 1 hit, while striking out 4 and walking 2. He allowed no runs. Joakim Soria collected save number 1.

Ryan Howard took Derek Cunningham deep in the bottom of the fourth. His solo home run put the Blue Jays on top, 1-0. In all, Howard had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 3.

"For the most part, I stayed out of the middle of the plate," Zambrano said.

Toronto is now 29-63.
