Twins Rally With Ninth-Inning Homers To Beat Blue Jays 7-5 In Toronto

The Minnesota Twins staged a dramatic comeback to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-5 at Rogers Centre, sparked by a pivotal three-run homer in the ninth inning by Matt Wallner, his third in the series. Rookie Mickey Gasper, who had struggled at the plate all season, hit his first career home run to tie the game in the ninth, contributing two singles earlier and breaking a prolonged hitless streak. The Twins overcame an early 4-0 deficit, highlighted by Luke Keaschall's two-run homer in the sixth and critical timely hitting against a strong Blue Jays pitching staff, including Chris Bassitt. George Springer led the Blue Jays offensively with two home runs and four hits, but Toronto's early scoring advantage was not enough to hold off Minnesota's late rally. This win helped the Twins balance the three-game series after a prior 10-4 loss where Matt Wallner hit two homers despite the defeat. The Twins have struggled early in games recently but showed resilience in this matchup, setting up a final game in Toronto to conclude the series.
