TORONTO -- Melvin Upton Jr. served what looked like a soft single into right field, but it took him on a non-stop trip around the bases that lifted the Toronto Blue Jays to an 8-7 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday afternoon at Rogers Centre.
With the Blue Jays down, 7-6, and Kevin Pillar aboard in the eighth inning, Upton hit a sinking liner that right-fielder Max Kepler missed on a dive. Kepler chased it almost to the warning track, where he accidentally kicked it away from center fielder Eddie Rosario as Upton circled the bases and scored standing up on what was ruled a triple and error.
