Hernandez leads Blue Jays to 6-5 win over Twins
MINNEAPOLIS — Teoscar Hernandez delivered a go-ahead hit for the Toronto Blue Jays for the second straight game.
But it was a defensive play by Hernandez that had his manager beaming after Toronto’s 6-5 win over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday.
Hernandez was part of a relay that helped nab Minnesota’s C.J. Cron at the plate to end the game. Hernandez fielded a double by Byron Buxton in left field and fired the ball to shortstop Freddy Galvis, who relayed to catcher Danny Jansen.
Cron’s attempt to score from first was thwarted, thanks in large part to Hernandez.
