The Toronto Blue Jays suffered an ugly ninth-inning collapse against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday as reliever Jeff Hoffman blew a save opportunity. But Toronto got its revenge with an epic eighth-inning comeback in the series finale.
Manager John Schneider was fired up after the Blue Jays’ late-game heroics lifted the team to 78-56 on the season. Toronto is now tied with the Detroit Tigers for the best record in the American League.
“That was loud. That was an electric atmosphere. These guys do not quit. They don’t give a shit who they’re playing against. They don’t care what the situation is. I love it,” Schneider said, per MLB.com’s Keegan Matheson.
