TORONTO — Ernie Clement broke an 8-all tie with a bases-loaded single in the seventh inning and the Toronto Blue Jays overcame a six-run deficit to beat the Minnesota Twins 10-8 on Saturday.
Danny Jansen hit a two-run home run while Bo Bichette and Davis Schneider each hit solo homers for the Blue Jays, who came in having lost six of eight.
''The confidence hasn't wavered,'' Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. ''Hopefully this type of win gets you rolling a little bit.''
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 4 for 5 with three RBIs in his 11th multihit game of the season as the Blue Jays used season highs of 10 runs and 16 hits to cool off the Twins. Minnesota had won 16 of 18.
''We're kind of getting everybody together at the same time,'' Guerrero said through a translator. ''That's what we want.''
Guerrero tied it at 8-all with a two-run, two-out single off Steven Okert in the sixth inning.
''They couldn't stop us early in the game and we couldn't stop them in the middle of the game and late in the game,'' Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. ''We just couldn't get them out. No matter who we threw, no matter what good matchup we thought we might have had, they just kept coming like we did early.''
After two Blue Jays batters reached against Jay Jackson (1-2) to begin the seventh, pinch hitter George Springer walked and Clement broke the tie with a single to shallow center off Caleb Thielbar. Davis Schneider followed with a sacrifice fly.
