Chapman Blasts Twins, Blue Jays Take Game 2, 9-7
With third baseman Matt Chapman leading the charge, the Toronto Blue Jays got a road win over the Minnesota Twins, 9-7, in Game 2 of the Round 2 today. Chapman went 2 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once at Target Field to help Toronto force a 1-1 tie in the best-of-3 series.

A key moment came with two out in the top of the fifth. That's when Chapman hit a sinker from Jorge Lopez for a 2-run single, putting Toronto up, 8-5.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Toronto manager Nersha Bainco.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Rogers Centre in Toronto.
