The Minnesota Twins faced a tough opponent in Toronto pitcher Shelby Miller, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Target Field by a final score of 5-4. Miller went 5.1 innings and allowed no earned runs. Minnesota reliever Reynaldo Lopez picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Robbie Erlin took the loss. Minnesota is still hoping to get on a roll. The win is just their 6th in 15 games.

Avisail Garcia, who is tied for 7th in the AL in triples with 1, chipped in for Minnesota with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the ninth. For the game, the right fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 RBI.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Toronto manager Ryan Hicks. "The effort was great."
