Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alex Gonzalez drove in three runs and Brett
Cecil pitched seven strong innings, as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the
Minnesota Twins, 8-1, in the rubber match of a three-game series.
Cecil (8-5) allowed one run on four hits for the Blue Jays, who have won two
straight following a three-game skid. Adam Lind, Fred Lewis, Lyle Overbay,
Jose Bautista and Jose Molina each hit a solo home run in the victory.
Scott Baker started on the mound and suffered the loss for the Twins, who have
dropped five of their last seven games overall. Baker (7-8) yielded five runs
on seven hits over six innings of work. Michael Cuddyer homered for the lone
Minnesota run.
The Twins will now travel to Detroit for a key AL Central divisional weekend
series against the Tigers prior to the upcoming All-Star break, while the Blue
Jays will close their unofficial first half of the season with a home set
against Boston.
After Lewis led off the bottom of the first with his fifth home run of the
season, the Blue Jays scored four runs in the home portion of the second
inning for a five-run advantage.
Lind began the second with a leadoff homer and Aaron Hill followed with a
single. Edwin Encarnacion's one-out base hit preceded another single by Molina
which loaded the bases. With two outs, Gonzalez drilled a double to center
field and cleared the bases for a 5-0 margin.
The only run for the visitors was scored in the top of the fourth when Cuddyer
reached down and belted a low fastball over the wall in left-center field.
In the seventh, solo home runs by Overbay and Molina gave the Twins a 7-1
advantage and the scoring was capped by Bautista's solo blast in the eighth.
Casey Janssen pitched a scoreless eighth before David Purcey took the mound to
close it out in the top of the ninth.
