Fernando Romero kept Toronto scoreless while pitching into the sixth inning of his major league debut for Minnesota.
He gave the Twins a badly needed boost in a 4-0 victory over the Blue Jays.
Eddie Rosario homered for the Twins. They won for only the second time in their last 13 games.
The 23-year-old Romero was a big reason why. He struck out five in 5 2/3 innings while allowing four hits and three walks. Marcus Stroman fell to 0-4 for the Blue Jays.
