Blue Jays Pull Back to .500 With Win Over Twins
Blue Jays first baseman Josh Bell put his stamp on his team's 7-3 win over the Minnesota Twins. Bell was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for Toronto in the contest. The 4th-place Blue Jays improved to 18-18.

Jose Bautista had a big 2-run double for the Blue Jays in the bottom of the first inning. With Toronto leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a knuckle curve from Clayton Richard and stroked the double to right. It was his 7th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Blue Jays ahead, 3-0.

Bell called the win "a collective effort."
