MINNEAPOLIS, July 8 (UPI) -- Adam Lind, Fred Lewis, Lyle Overbay, Jose Bautista and Jose Molina hit solo home runs Thursday in the Blue Jays' 8-1 win over Minnesota.
Alex Gonzalez drove in the other three Toronto runs with a bases-loaded double in the second inning.
The 10-hit attack backed up a solid pitching performance by Brett Cecil (8-5), who allowed one run on four hits over seven innings.
Scott Baker (7-8) took the loss for the Twins, who slumped to five losses in their last seven games. Baker gave up five runs on seven hits in six innings.
The Jays got off to a fast start with Lewis' home run in the opening inning and then added four in the second. Lind led off the frame with his 11th home run. After three consecutive singles loaded the bases, Gonzalez drilled a double to center field that cleared the bases and put Toronto ahead 5-0.
Michael Cuddyer put Minnesota's only run on the board in the fourth with his eighth home run of the year.
