Alvaro Garcia was terrific for the Toronto Blue Jays in his team's 5-1 triumph over the Minnesota Twins. His performance earned Garcia rave reviews. Garcia, the winner, moves to 3-3. He threw 6 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 9 and giving up 1 walk. Jay Courtney was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 23 of 28 save opportunities.

Eric Starnes had a key at-bat with one out in the bottom of the sixth for Toronto. With the bases loaded and the Blue Jays leading 1-0, he hit a sacrifice fly.

"Alvaro just went about his business, throwing strikes," said Toronto manager Rodney Smith.

Toronto, at 82-65, is 2 games up in the American League East Division.
