Blue Jays Win Round 2
The Toronto Blue Jays were paced by a strong offensive output from Daulton Varsho as they downed the Minnesota Twins 2-1 to win the Round 2.

Toronto won the final game by a score of 4-2 at Rogers Centre to send themselves off to the Round 3.

"I wasn't so much focused on putting up big offensive numbers as I was about ensuring we won the games. So it's mission accomplished there," said center fielder Varsho, who was named MVP.

For the series, the MVP hit .643 with a .643 on-base percentage. He had 3 home runs, drove in 4 RBI and scored 6 runs.

The Round 3 matchups and schedule will be announced after the Round 2 finishes.
