MINNEAPOLIS — Twelve years into his major league career, Toronto Blue Jays slugger Kendrys Morales has the self-assurance to endure a weeklong slump. The bullpen finished with five scoreless innings for the Blue Jays, with Tyler Clippard (4-0) taking the ninth for the win and Roberto Osuna working the 10th for his eighth save in nine tries. The Blue Jays are 14-0 when leading after eight innings, with a relief ERA of 2.16 that’s the second-best in the major leagues. “It’s just a matter of time,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. TRAINER’S ROOMBlue Jays: Morales was a late addition to the lineup, due to ribcage tightness that developed for Steve Pearce.
