TORONTO — Jose Berrios had by far his best outing against his former team, striking out 13 Twins over seven strong innings Saturday.
Toronto's 12-3 victory at Rogers Centre was almost a mirror image of Friday's game, when the Twins won 9-3 and were the ones shutting the Blue Jays out of the last six innings.
Berrios, who left the Twins in a trade last July, faced them for the third time since then, and at first, the Twins offense seemed to pick up from Friday's showing. In the first inning, Luis Arraez hit a first-pitch leadoff single before Jorge Polanco smashed a two-run homer.
