Blue Jays Edge Twins, 6-5
The Minnesota Twins could not turn a fine performance from third baseman Bret McBride into a win. Instead, the Toronto Blue Jays prevailed, 6-5. McBride went 2 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The win belonged to Bryan Bassett in relief. His record improves to 8-13. Zózimo Oliveiras took the loss for Minnesota. Picking up the save was Jay Courtney. He's now 23 for 27 in save chances.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the bottom of the sixth, with the game tied, Jonathan Thompson was at the plate when Toronto scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Blue Jays to go in front, 6-5.

"Our goal is to improve each and every day," Thompson told the Toronto Chronicle.

The 85-69 Blue Jays lead the American League East Division by one game.
