MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Teoscar Hernández, Marcus Semien and George Springer homered, and the Toronto Blue Jays held their position in the playoff chase by beating the Minnesota Twins 6-1 Saturday night.
Robbie Ray (13-6) scattered three hits in six innings as the Blue Jays ended a three-game slide.
Toronto stayed two games behind Boston and New York in the AL wild-card race with seven games remaining.
“We did what we do tonight,” Semien said. “ … We knew we have our ace on the mound and put up some more runs and do our thing.”
Semien hit his 43rd home run in the sixth for a 3-1 lead.
