Jeffers Socks 2 Home Runs in 7-1 Minnesota Win
In the 7-1 Minnesota win over Toronto, the impact of Ryan Jeffers was substantial. Jeffers, who is tied for 9th in the AL with a .568 slugging percentage, hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 5. Chris Sale was the winning pitcher. Over 7 innings, he allowed no runs on 4 hits, with 3 walks and no strikeouts. Minnesota is now 23-16, 4½ games up in the American League Central Division.

Royce Lewis, the fan favorite , had a direct impact on the outcome. Lewis contributed a 2-run single in the top of the fourth inning to put Minnesota up, 4-0.

"No one player deserves all the credit when you win," Lewis said. "And the same is true when you lose."
