Toronto Blue jays being congratulated after making it to home plate in 7-5 victory against the Twins<\/p><\/div>\n

The Toronto Blue Jays<\/a>, down Jose Bautista and Josh Donaldson, managed to put together the offence they are known for to edge out the Minnesota Twins 7-5.<\/p>\n

Donaldson is on the disabled list and has missed the last 16 games, and with Bautista out of action and Kendrys Morales slow to find his groove, the Jays saw Russel Martin and Justin Smoak both earning runs to help push the Jays out from and earn the win.<\/p>\n

Justin Smoak sent a shot to right field and into the stands to earn a home run and end a 4th inning run that saw the Jays leading 5-0<\/strong>. Russel Martin added another run for the Blue Jays in the 5th inning to help give Toronto its second win in a row.<\/p>\n

Seeking about the game, Josh Gibbons, Manager for the Blue Jays said,<\/p>\n

“You’re going to play many a game like that. It never feels good. They had the tying run at second, but we got our closer out there. Bottom line, we won that thing. We had a chance early on to really blow it open.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Twins have lost the last 10 games out of 11 falling short against the Jays. They had runners on 2nd and 3rd and failed to get the job done after a hard drive by Roberto Osuna dropped short in the 9th inning.<\/p>\n
