Brandon Valenzuela Powers Big Inning as Blue Jays Dump Twins
- On Friday, the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Minnesota Twins 10-4, snapping Minnesota's four-game win streak. Rookie Brandon Valenzuela hit his first career home run, a two-run shot giving Toronto a 5-4 lead in the fourth inning.
- Toronto overcame a four-run deficit with a 14-hit offensive attack featuring seven doubles. Minnesota starter Simeon Woods Richardson allowed five runs and six hits in four innings, unable to contain the Blue Jays' rally.
- Daulton Varsho hit a leadoff home run in the fifth, marking the 100th of his career. Lefty Patrick Corbin allowed four runs over four innings in his Blue Jays debut after signing as a free agent earlier this month.
- Relievers Tommy Nance, Joe Mantiply, Louis Varland, and Braydon Fisher combined for five shutout innings with nine strikeouts to secure Toronto's second straight victory. The bullpen effort silenced Minnesota's bats after the early offensive burst.
- Blue Jays LHP Eric Lauer is expected to start Saturday afternoon against Twins RHP Joe Ryan in the series' second game. Lauer carries a 1-1 record and 4.91 ERA while Ryan holds a 1-1 record and 4.40 ERA.
