Jose Bautista hit one of Toronto's five homers and Brett Cecil snapped a four-start winless skid, leading the Blue Jays to an 8-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night.
Fred Lewis, Adam Lind, Jose Molina and Lyle Overbay also went deep for the Blue Jays, who hit 10 homers in the three game series and leads the majors with 130. Bautista leads the majors with 23 homers and eight Blue Jays have at least 10 home runs before the All-Star break, a club first.
The left-handed Cecil (8-5) won for the first time since June 10 at Tampa Bay, allowing one run and four hits in seven innings. He walked one and struck out two.
