Toronto also scored eight runs in the first inning in a 10-4 Blue Jays win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 19.
In Toronto’s win over Minnesota on Saturday, four Blue Jays hit a home run. They came from right fielder Myles Straw, second baseman Lenyn Sosa, catcher Brandon Valenzuela, and third baseman Kazuma Okamoto.
