Early run support gives Blue Jays' starter Jose Berrios win over former club

TORONTO — A five-run first inning from his Blue Jays teammates was all starter Jose Berrios required to shut down his former club, the Minnesota Twins, on Sunday.

Toronto's early prowess at the plate generated a 5-3 win over the visiting Twins as the Jays took two of three games in the weekend series.

Berrios surrendered three runs on four hits, gave up a walk and struck out six over six and two-thirds innings of work.

Toronto (84-65) continued to hold second spot in the American League wild-card race entering the final two weeks of the regular season.
