Blue Jays Win, 8-3, Over Minnesota
The Toronto Blue Jays stopped the Minnesota Twins, 8-3, behind an impressive performance from Jose Ortiz. The 32-year old center fielder made life miserable for Minnesota pitching. He went 2-4 with 2 singles and a walk. He scored 3 times. Toronto has rattled off 4 straight wins.

Toronto used a well-timed hit by Denny Walling to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 4-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We'll grab a barley pop and savor this win," said Ortiz.
