Twins Rally to Nose Past Toronto
Oscar Librado left his imprint on the 4-3 Minnesota win against the Toronto Blue Jays. Librado, who finished 3rd in the AL in on-base percentage with .403 last year, went 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Minnesota reliever Andrew Gray picked up the win, upping his record to 3-0. Steve Makeever absorbed the loss. With the win, Minnesota upped its record to 79-71.

Librado had a game-changing double in the top of the ninth. On a 2-1 cutter from Jay Courtney, he banged a run-scoring double to right, giving the Twins a 4-3 lead. It was the 31st double of the year for Librado.

"It was our day today," Librado told the Minnesota Gazette. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."
