The Minnesota Twins wiggled past the Toronto Blue Jays, 4-3, at SkyDome 1989-2015. The win was highlighted by the performance of Minnesota pitcher Jameson Taillon. Minnesota pitcher David Paulino got the win, upping his record to 1-3. Jake Diekman got the loss. After today's action, Minnesota sits at 57-68; Toronto slips to 47-78.

Mookie Betts, who finished 3rd in the AL in batting average with .314 last year, had a direct impact on the outcome. Betts contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the tenth inning to put Minnesota up, 4-3.

"Jameson pitched his heart out," said Minnesota manager .
