Riding the 3-hit performance of the 29-year old first baseman Aledmys Diaz, the Toronto Blue Jays stopped the Minnesota Twins, 10-2. Toronto reliever JC Ramirez got the win, raising his record to 1-4. Jordan Lyles was tagged with the loss. The Blue Jays improved to 44-52.

Diaz had a key at-bat for Toronto early in the game. With the bases loaded, he hit a 2-run double. It was his 21st double of the season and gave Toronto an early 2-0 lead.

"We played hard and won," said Diaz. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
