Minnesota Loses, 6-5, in 11
Toronto beat Minnesota at Rogers Centre, escaping with a 6-5 win in 11 innings. The win in large part was due to catcher Mike Beiriger. He was 2 for 5 with a home run and a double. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The win was credited to 25-year old right-handed pitcher John Ferch in relief. His record improves to 13-7. Roberto Aranda took the loss. With the victory, the Blue Jays upped their record to 76-70.

The game was decided with two out in the bottom of the 11th. With Toronto trailing 5-4, Beiriger jumped on a slider from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Roberto Aranda and hit a 2-run home run to left. With one swing, the Blue Jays had a walk-off win.

"Winning in the last at-bat, there's nothing else like it," said Beiriger.
