The Toronto Blue Jays edged out the Minnesota Twins 2-1 in Spring training action today. They racked up 10 hits, but could only push across 2 runs, thanks the strong pitching that kept the twins in check. Max Scherzer led the way, tossing 5 scoreless innings with just 2 hits and 2 walks, while striking out 3 to earn the win. Here in the game, the Jays loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning, helped by a couple of errors, but they stranded everyone and failed. To score. It's a reminder of some familiar scoring lows, even in exhibition play. With several starting pitchers nursing injuries heading into the season, Scherzer's veteran presence has been a huge boost since they signed him. Fans and analysts are breathing easier, seeing that rotation depth take shape. Here's like Joe Man supply, Chase Lee, and Lazaro Estrada closed it out, with Estrada picking up the save despite allowing one earned run.

1:02On the hitting side, Nathan Loops went 2 for 3, and Josh Kassovich added 2 hits and an RBI in a solid spring for him. Looking ahead, the Jays head to Braydenton, Florida tomorrow to face the pirates, followed by a spring breakout match up between Jays' prospects and Philly's prospects, wrapping up with their final exhibition game on Sunday.
