Twins Lose to Blue Jays, 4-0
Toronto right-hander Michael Fulmer was sensational in shutting out the Minnesota Twins, 4-0. The Twins fall to 5-9 and continue their uneven start to the 2019 season.

Toronto used the timely hitting of Jose Bautista to capture the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 1-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but he made it count.

"It was a good effort all around," said Fulmer.
