The 14-6 Toronto win over Minnesota was due in large part to Ruben Velasco. The Blue Jays designated hitter went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Toronto goes to 7-5.

In the first inning, Velasco had a 2-run home run for Toronto. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Blue Jays on top, 3-0.

"You work hard, day in and day out, hoping to give the fans something to cheer about. Today was a good day," Velasco told the Toronto Herald.
