The Blue Jays managed to score in the second with Alan Roden hitting a double and bringing in Ernie Clement, making the score 1-0.But fear not, Twins fans, because we quickly responded in the bottom of the inning. Thanks to Christian Vázquez's groundout and Trevor Larnach's sacrifice fly, we gathered momentum and surged ahead, ending the 2nd inning with 2-1 in our favor.
The Home Run Duo 
Though the 3rd inning allowed the Jays to bounce back briefly, things got electrifying in the 4th. Brooks Lee smashed a homer to right, followed by a powerful shot from Christian Vázquez to left. These back-to-back home runs took us back in the lead with a score of 4-3. It seemed like a festival of homers as Target Field erupted with cheers!Closing With Confidence
With more excellent plays from Willi Castro and Ty France, who doubled to bring the score to 5-3, our boys were on fire. The 5th inning concluded with Byron Buxton showing patience and discipline at the plate to draw a walk and score for assured safety at 6-3.Pitching changes and strategic plays in the latter innings, including a sharp performance from Jhoan Duran in the 9th, wrapped up the victory securely. Our defense was on lockdown and helped clinch the win.
Kudos to all the players who showed resilience and spotlighted their skills, stepping up to the challenge. Let's keep this energy as we celebrate the triumph of our Minnesota Twins!
