Toronto’s Bowden Francis was gone faster than President Trump’s Tesla after he was shelled for six runs in just 1 ²/₃ innings by the Phillies in his most recent outing on June 3. The Twins’ Joe Ryan has won two in a row, but the mighty Athletics scored four runs over five frames in his most recent start.

The game was tied 2-2 before Wallner lofted a towering homer to the right field bleachers off Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman. It was Wallner's fourth homer of the season in the big leagues, though he also slugged five homers in six games during a rehab stint at Triple-A St. Paul in May.

George Springer hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the eighth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Minnesota Twins 5-4 on Saturday.
