The Blue Jays took three of four in Minnesota when they met the Twins from April 15-18. Toronto scored at least five runs in each of its victories in the series and averaged 4.8 runs across the four games, nearly a full run higher than its season-long mark of 3.9 runs per game.

The Twins lost yesterday and dropped two of three to the Yankees in New York, snapping a streak of two consecutive series wins. Minnesota has gone 9-2 (.818) this season following losses, the best record in MLB.

Marwin Gonzalez has picked up at least one hit in four straight games, and multiple hits in three of those four. Gonzalez is slashing .310/.375/.448 in eight games since April 27 after opening the year with marks of .159/.227/.217 over his first 20 games.

The Blue Jays lost the final two games of a three-game set against the Rangers to finish their six-game road trip with a 1-5 record. Toronto returns to the Rogers Centre where it has won its last three after opening the season 4-8.

Eric Sogard hit his fourth home run of the season yesterday, picking up his 21st hit in his 15th game as a Blue Jay. This ties him with Greg Zaun and Raul Mondesi for the fourth most hits through 15 career games with the Blue Jays all-time (Shea Hillenbrand has the most with 26).

Marcus Stroman has faced 187 batters without allowing a home run, the fourth-longest active streak in MLB. He has made seven starts this season -- with one more homerless outing, Stroman will tie Dave Stieb (1989), Al Leiter (1995) and Roger Clemens (1998) for the longest streaks of starts without allowing a home run to begin a season in franchise history.

HP - Cuzzi, 1B - Hallion, 2B - Hamari, 3B - Tichenor

The American League Central-leading Minnesota Twins will try for their fifth series sweep of the season and third straight shutout on Wednesday night at Toronto.

Thornton, who will be making his eighth career start, gave up six hits and four runs in 4 2/3 innings and took the loss in a 4-1 setback to the Twins on April 17 at Target Field in Minneapolis.
