 The Blue Jays lost two of three games against Tampa Bay, marking Toronto's fifth straight series to begin the season without a series victory. The Marlins and the Rockies are the only other teams this season that have not won a single series.

 At 8-4, the Twins are off to their best 12-game start in a season since beginning 2010 with a 9-3 record. Minnesota is 4-1 at home this season, with series victories over the Indians and the Tigers.

 The Twins went 4-2 against the Blue Jays last season -- Toronto won the first two games, then Minnesota proceeded to win the final four matchups of the season. The Twins have hit at least one home run in 12 consecutive games against the Blue Jays, their longest active streak against any single opponent.

 Through three career starts with the Blue Jays, Matt Shoemaker is 3-0 with a 0.92 ERA. The only other Blue Jay all-time with three wins and a sub-1.00 ERA through three career starts with the team was Roger Clemens in a Cy Young winning campaign in 1997 (0.42 ERA).

 Nelson Cruz has a .579 slugging percentage in 91 career games against the Blue Jays. That mark ranks fourth all-time among players with at least 300 plate appearances against Toronto, trailing only Ken Griffey Jr. (.600), Jose Canseco (.595) and Albert Belle (.593).

 Minnesota's starting pitchers have limited opposing batters to a .203 batter average, third lowest in MLB. Probable starter Martin Perez has allowed opponents to bat .327 since last season, which ranks last out of 214 pitchers over that time (min. 75 IP).

HP - Emmel, 1B - Dreckman, 2B - Barber, 3B - Estabrook

Aaron Sanchez (1-1, 1.69 ERA) will take the mound for Toronto, which overcame a major baserunning blunder in the sixth inning to defeat the Twins on Monday. Kyle Gibson (0-0, 7.71) will start for Minnesota.
