First Inning


The game began with the Twins taking an early lead. In the first inning, they managed to put one run on the board thanks to strategic hitting and solid base running. This initial momentum was crucial for setting the tone of their offensive strategy.

Middle Innings


However, from the fourth inning onwards, things started to shift in favor of the Jays. The Birds responded with two runs in both the fourth and fifth innings. Their ability to find gaps in Minnesota's defense proved pivotal during these middle innings.


Late Innings


In a critical moment during the sixth inning, Toronto edged ahead by scoring another run through precise hitting and exploiting pitching errors by Minnesota's bullpen. Despite efforts from players like Trevor Larnach who had shown promise earlier with his batting prowess (averaging .250), it wasn't enough to regain control of the game.
