Jorge Polanco had a pair of two-out RBIs and Jose Miranda homered for the Minnesota Twins, who beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-3 behind a stellar bullpen performance on Saturday night.
All-Star Luis Arraez went 3 for 5 with an RBI for the first-place Twins, who kept their two-game lead on Cleveland in the AL Central.
His only chance was to try to scoop the ball in his glove and in the same motion either flip it to the plate or tag Gordon, but he whiffed and whacked Gordon with his fully extended right arm. It bent awkwardly in the collision, causing Mayza to writhe around in the dirt for a few seconds before walking off slowly while clutching his shoulder. Mayza, who's had a solid season with a 2.88 ERA, is Toronto's only current left-handed reliever.
Trevor Megill led off the relief parade with a perfect fifth, and newly acquired closer Jorge Lopez finished up with a hitless ninth after blowing his save chance on Friday night in the 6-5 win by the Twins in 10 innings.
