Merrifield's baserunning helps Blue Jays beat Twins in extra inning

Cavan Biggio hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning and Whit Merrifield scored on an overturned call to lead the visiting Blue Jays to a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins Sunday.

Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli was ejected for arguing the call, the eighth time in his career he was thrown out and third this season.

Toronto remained two games ahead of Tampa Bay for the top wild card in the American League. Minnesota's lead in the AL Central shrank to one game after a win by Cleveland.

After scoring two early runs, the Blue Jays stifled a late Twins' comeback. Jose Miranda drove in Minnesota's first run, an RBI single in the eighth inning, for his fourth consecutive game with at least one RBI. Luis Arraez tied the game in the ninth with an RBI single.
