Blue Jays left fielder Melvin Upton Jr. hit a two-run triple in the bottom of the eighth inning which Minnesota Twins right fielder Max Kepler miss-played, resulting in a dramatic 8-7 comeback victory for Toronto.
With one out in the eighth and the Jays trailing 7-6, Upton launched a Ryan Pressly offering to right that Kepler failed to field cleanly. Kevin Pillar, who hit a double, scored from second to tie the game and Upton made it all the way home on Kepler’s error to give the Jays the lead and ultimately the win.
Jays’ closer Roberto Osuna came in to pitch a perfect ninth inning to preserve the victory while picking up his 29th save.
