Trevor Larnach hits 3-run homer in 7-run 3rd inning as Twins beat Blue Jays 7-4

TORONTO (AP) --- Trevor Larnach hit a three-run home run, Brooks Lee added a
solo shot and the Minnesota Twins used a seven-run third inning to beat the
Toronto Blue Jays 7-4 on Saturday for their fifth win in six games.
Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer left in the sixth inning because of
a fractured big toe on his left foot. Springer fouled a ball off his foot in
the third inning but completed his at bat, grounding out to third base.
Twins right-hander Joe Ryan (2-1) allowed two runs and two hits in seven
innings to win his second straight start.
Lee started the decisive third inning with his second home run in two games and
second this season. Ryan Jeffers drew a bases-loaded walk and Josh Bell drove
in two runs with a bloop single to shallow center.
Larnach capped the inning with a 398-foot drive to right, his first homer of
2026.
The Twins have homered in 25 consecutive games in Toronto, hitting 53 total
homers in that span. Their last game without a homer in Toronto was August 25,
2017.
Daulton Varsho and Jess Snchez hit two-run home runs for Toronto.
Blue Jays left-hander Eric Lauer (1-2) allowed seven runs and five hits in 5
1/3 innings. He walked five and struck out three.
Springer walked to begin the game and scored when Varsho homered for the second
consecutive game, his second homer.
Ryan responded by retiring 20 of the final 22 batters he faced. Ryan hit Nathan
Lukes to begin the second before Ernie Clement grounded into a double play.
Toronto slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singled off Ryan to begin the fourth, but
the next three batters flied out.
Snchez homered off Cole Sands in the ninth, his second of the season.
