Smart gameplay at-bat, good fielding with double plays, homeruns by Biggio and Chapman brought the Jays back in front and Romano finished up the 9th inning.

Umpires were struck multiple times this game which was a little unusual, one leaving to tend to injuries. An inning ended with a pitch clock violation against the Twins which wasn't entirely deserved. A very close call on a video replay challenge, didn't get overturned in Jays' favour.

Didn't get to watch this one. I'm glad to hear they came back! Sounds like it was an interesting game to watch.

Was at the game tonight. The first inning was a little tough to watch, and had to leave after the 6th as my two young kids had had enough (but got to see Matt Chapman's homer). I figured the Jay's were done for, but was pleasantly surprised when I learned standing in my driveway having a beer with my neighbour that Biggio had belted a 3-run Homer to win it.

To those calling it a long game.... I was at the 19 inning Toronto-Detroit monster in 2014 that was over 6.5 hours long, a very good portion of that with no concessions open in the blazing hot sun.

They've shortened the game a lot with the pitch clock and ghost runner rules. I remember being at games before there just being a lot of moments of dead action between plays.
