The Toronto Blue Jays erupted for eight runs in the eighth inning, and Brandon Valenzuela's three-run homer helped fuel an 11-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Starter Dylan Cease went seven innings on 106 pitches, the first Blue Jays starter this season to reach seven innings. Designated hitter George Springer left in the third inning after being hit on his left foot and did not return. The rally exposed persistent issues in the Twins bullpen and highlighted Toronto's depth, with Kazuma Okamoto adding 16 RBIs in his last 14 games to fuel late comebacks.
