Minnesota Twins starter Nick Pivetta pitched a strong game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Target Field, leading the Twins to a 5-3 win. David Robertson, credited with the win, is now 1-0. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1 innings. The Twins are off to a tough start, getting just their 11th win in 28 games.

Minnesota took a 5-3 lead on Howie Kendrick's 4th home run of the season. The 3-run home run came off Toronto pitcher Danny Barnes in the bottom of the ninth.

"Enjoyed this one," Pivetta told the Minnesota Bulletin. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
