Blue Jays 5, Twins 4: Kevin Pillar delivered a one-out RBI single in the ninth inning as host Toronto halted a brief two-game slide.

Edwin Encarnacion went 2-for-3 with a homer and three RBIs while Jose Reyes homered among his three hits while stealing a pair of bases for the Blue Jays. Casey Janssen (1-0) notched the win after blowing his second save opportunity of the season after R.A. Dickey allowed two runs and five hits over 5 1/3 innings.

Danny Santana and Brian Dozier went deep and Kurt Suzuki collected three hits and an RBI for the Twins, who have lost four of five. Kendrys Morales went 1-for-3 with a walk in his Minnesota debut while Matt Guerrier (0-1) took the loss by yielding a run on one hit and two walks in 1 1/3 innings of relief.

Minnesota grabbed an early lead as Santana led off the game by depositing a 3-2 pitch over the wall in right-center field. Dozier followed suit, launching a 3-2 offering out to left to make it 2-0 before an out was recorded.

The Blue Jays moved ahead in the bottom of the first on their league-leading 90th homer of the season, a three-run blast by Encarnacion - who trails Baltimore's Nelson Cruz (21) by one for first in the majors. Reyes added a run in the fifth, when he began the frame with his fourth shot of the year, but Janssen gave up back-to-back RBI doubles by Suzuki and Eduardo Escobar with two outs in the ninth to blow the lead.
