Davis Schneider had two hits, scored twice and drove in a run as the Blue Jays set a season high in runs and matched a season high in hits. Nine of Toronto's 14 hits were for extra bases, including seven doubles.

Valenzuela gave Toronto its first lead, 5-4, with a two-out drive off Simeon Woods Richardson in a five-run fourth inning. His homer followed RBI doubles by Jesús Sánchez and Schneider, and an RBI single by Andrés Giménez.

Varsho made it 6-4 with a leadoff homer off Anthony Banda in the fifth, his first of the season and the 100th of his career.

The Twins came in having swept a four-game series against Detroit. Minnesota is 2-5 on the road.

Joe Mantiply (1-0) struck out all three batters he faced to earn the win.

Ryan Jeffers hit a three-run homer off Corbin in the first, his first. Brooks Lee made it 4-0 with a leadoff homer in the third, his first.

The Twins have at least one home run in 24 consecutive games in Toronto, hitting 51 total homers in those games.
