Twins power their way to series-opening victory in Toronto

TORONTO — The Twins are currently without the services of 18 players on their 40-man roster thanks to the injured list, COVID list and restricted list.

And yet they still halted Toronto's eight-game winning streak, dealing the Blue Jays a 9-3 defeat at Rogers Centre on Friday. The Twins improved to 31-23 as Toronto dropped to 30-21.

Kyle Garlick did what he does best — stack up hits against left-handed pitchers — smacking a two-run homer off Toronto starter Yusei Kikuchi in the first inning. Toronto immediately tied it, though, with George Springer's solo homer nicked off Twins' spot starter Chi Chi Gonzalez before Teoscar Hernandez added an RBI single.
