Twins Shut Out Blue Jays, 4-0
The Minnesota Twins beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 4-0, at SkyDome 1989-2015. Starting pitcher A.J. Griffin was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Griffin got the win, improving to 12-11. He allowed 7 hits and walked 1 over 8.1 innings. Griffin allowed no runs. Today's win puts Minnesota at 63-85, while Toronto falls to 65-83.

Mookie Betts, the slick-fielding center fielder , had a direct impact on the outcome. Betts contributed a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put Minnesota up, 4-0.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Griffin said.
