Jose Bautista Hits Slam, Toronto Blue Jays Beat Minnesota Twins, Win 4th in Row

TORONTO (AP) — Jose Bautista hit a grand slam, Edwin Encarnacion and Josh Donaldson homered and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Minnesota Twins 9-7 Wednesday night for their fourth straight win.

Encarnacion hit a three-run drive and Donaldson added a two-run shot. Toronto has homered in 17 of 18 games since the All-Star break, with 10 multihomer games in that span.

The Blue Jays will try Thursday to sweep the four-game series between wild card contenders. The slumping Twins have lost four in a row and nine of 11.

Miguel Sano homered and had three RBIs for the Twins.
