Jose Berrios pitched around a season-high five walks and into the sixth inning for Toronto to beat his old team, and the Blue Jays blanked the Minnesota Twins 3-0 on Sunday for their first series win in four tries.
Alejandro Kirk hit a two-run single in the second inning that held up for Berrios , who has allowed two or fewer runs in seven of his last nine turns after a rough start.
Jordan Romano recorded his 12th save with a scoreless ninth, allowing a two-out single to rookie Matt Wallner. He was 2 for 2 with two walks and has reached base in eight straight plate appearances.With Alek Manoah struggling at the top of the rotation, the Blue Jays need several more starts like this from Berrios, who was traded by the Twins at the deadline two years ago. The right-hander is 3-1 with a 2.30 ERA in his last five starts, four of them wins for Toronto.
Julien made a diving stop of Varsho's two-out single in the second, but he dropped the ball before he could make the throw to first. The official scorer ruled the play a hit.
