Blue Jays Sneak Past Twins, 4-3
The Blue Jays grabbed a win, 4-3, at Target Field, overcoming a fine effort from Minnesota pitcher Matt Magill. Magill went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. Jonathan Papelbon closed it out for his 8th save. Toronto, at 20-31, occupies 4th place in the AL East Division.

Toronto used the timely hitting of Todd Martin to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

After the game, Toronto manager Carlos Delgado applauded the team's effort. "They busted their humps out there," he said.
