Minnesota Beats Toronto, 7-5
The Minnesota Twins knocked off the Toronto Blue Jays, 7-5, at Rogers Centre. Travis Baxter was a big reason Minnesota won. The second baseman was 2-3 with a triple and a walk. Charlie Griggs recorded the save, making him 17 for 18. The win gives Minnesota a season record of 60-55.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Yoshitoki Nishiyama? The Minnesota right fielder had a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Twins on top, 3-1. For the game, Nishiyama had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Nishiyama.
