John Schneider said it's fair to second guess the decision to remove Jose Berrios amid a scoreless start in Wednesday's Game 2 between the Toronto Blue Jays and Minnesota Twins.

Berrios threw three shutout innings, but Schneider followed through on his promise that the entire pitching staff was available to try to extend the AL Wild Card Series, and removed the right-hander with one out in the fourth.

Berrios was pulled after a leadoff walk to Royce Lewis. Yusei Kikuchi replaced him and was greeted by a single from Max Kepler. Donovan Solano walked, Carlos Correa put the Twins up with his single and Willi Castro's double-play groundout got another run on the board as Minnesota plated both its runs in what ultimately was a 2-0 series-clinching win.

"He had electric stuff. Tough to take him out," Schneider said. "But I think with the way they're constructed, you want to utilize your whole roster. It didn't work out. You can look at it broadly and say it didn't work out because they scored two runs when we did make a change. You can also look at the fact it didn't work out and we didn't take advantage of at-bats we had with runners in scoring position.

"So you can sit here and second-guess me, second-guess the organization, second-guess anybody. I get that. I get that. And it's tough. And it didn't work out for us today or yesterday. But that's baseball sometimes. There's 29 teams that are going to say the same thing when the season's over."

Berrios ended up throwing 47 pitches, allowing three hits and ultimately taking the loss.

"I just control what I can control," Berrios said. "I pitched my ass off.

"I understand the move [to remove him], and I have to deal with that."
