ESCOBAR HOMERS IN MINNESOTA VICTORY

Ryan Borucki wasn’t too worried after once again missing out on his first major league win.

The 24-year-old rookie is confident that milestone will come soon enough, especially if he continues to pitch the way he did Tuesday night.

Borucki allowed two runs (both unearned) and six hits and struck out two batters over six innings as the Blue Jays fell 5-0 to the Minnesota Twins.

It was the second time he’d received zero run support in five career starts.

“It’s going to happen sooner or later, hopefully,” Borucki said when asked if he was getting anxious over his winless record.

“As long as I keep doing what I’m doing, keep pitching and trying to keep this team in games as long as I can — it’s going to come. It’s that simple.”

Jose Berrios pitched seven shutout innings for his 10th win of the season and Eduardo Escobar hit a three-run homer to lead Minnesota to its second win over the Blue Jays in as many nights.

Berrios (10-7) allowed four hits, walked one and struck out nine in a 102-pitch performance before relievers Trevor Hildenberger and Ryan Pressly stepped in to keep the shutout intact.

Borucki (0-2) matched Berrios nearly every step of the way, producing his fourth quality starts in five outings and not walking a batter for the second time this season.

A fielding error did him in the sixth as the Twins (46-53) scored twice after Teoscar Hernandez flubbed a fly ball from Joe Mauer to lead off the frame. Brian Dozier drove in Mauer with a sac fly and Escobar and Robbie Grossman followed with back-to-back doubles to extend the lead to 2-0.

Toronto was shut out for the sixth time this season while losing its third straight to the Twins for the first time since a four-game skid in 2005.
