The Toronto (GCL) Blue Jays topped the Minnesota (GCL) Twins, 1-0, in Gulf Coast Rookie League action at Hammond Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Toronto (GCL) pitcher and Lexington, Kentucky, native Justin Robbins. Picking up the save was Mario Pena, his 5th. Minnesota (GCL) has now lost 5 in a row.

It could have been a different outcome for Toronto (GCL), had it not been for Joey Puente, the 20-year old center fielder . Puente contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the first inning to put Toronto (GCL) up, 1-0.

"Good teams find a way to win close games," Puente said.
