Toronto defeated Texas, 7-2, to end its four-game losing streak on Sunday. Through 27 games, Toronto is averaging 5.3 runs per game, fourth most in baseball. Through 27 games last season, the Blue Jays averaged just 3.7 runs.

After starting the season 8-5, the Twins have lost nine of 10 to fall to 9-14 thru 23 games. During the past 10 games, Minnesota has averaged 3.9 runs per game while its pitching staff has put up an 8.50 ERA in 84.2 innings.

Aaron Sanchez is 1-0 with a 2.77 ERA in 13.0 innings in two career starts against Minnesota. Sanchez has recorded four consecutive quality starts and owns a 3.12 ERA and .209 opponent average in 26.0 innings in those starts.

The Twins are 6-5 (.545) at home and 3-9 (.250) on the road this season, good for a +.295 differential between home and road winning percentage. That differential is the highest in baseball among teams with a better record at home.

Lance Lynn went 3.2 innings and allowed six earned runs on seven hits and three walks in a loss in his last start against the Yankees on Wednesday. Lynn has allowed five or more earned runs in three of his first four starts and has walked at least three batters in all four starts.
