MINNEAPOLIS — Griffin Jax left an elevated changeup to Toronto Blue Jay designated hitter George Springer in the eighth inning Saturday, and he started talking to himself as soon as Springer hit the ball.

George Springer hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the top of the eighth inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays held on for a 5-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday afternoon in Minneapolis.

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.
