26 Aug
Summary
- Scherzer wins 3rd straight start for Blue Jays
- Alejandro Kirk and Andrés Giménez homer in big 1st inning
- Twins' Matt Wallner hits 2 home runs off Scherzer
On August 26th, 2025, the Toronto Blue Jays continued their dominant home performance with a 10-4 win over the Minnesota Twins. Veteran pitcher Max Scherzer led the way for the Blue Jays, earning his third straight victory by pitching six solid innings and striking out five batters.
The Blue Jays' offense set the tone early, scoring four runs in the first inning. Catcher Alejandro Kirk and infielder Andrés Giménez both hit home runs to power the big opening frame. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. also contributed with a two-run single as the AL East leaders jumped out to a comfortable lead.
Despite the strong start by the Blue Jays, the Twins' Matt Wallner kept his team in the game, hitting two solo home runs off Scherzer. However, it was not enough to overcome the early deficit, as the Blue Jays' pitching and timely hitting proved too much for the struggling Twins.
The win marked the Blue Jays' 30th victory in 39 home games this season, further solidifying their position atop the division. With the loss, the Twins have now dropped six of their last seven games, falling further behind in the playoff race.
