GAME RECAP

IMPACT PLAYER

Justin Smoak, Toronto

His long home run was the big blast, turning a 3-0 Blue Jays lead into 5-0, a deficit the Twins couldn't overcome.

BY THE NUMBERS

12 Career at-bats against Aaron Sanchez without a hit by Brian Dozier, his worst record against any pitcher.

8.37 Lance Lynn's ERA with the Twins, with an 0-3 record.

ON DECK

Kyle Gibson has started vs. the Blue Jays three times in Target Field, and the Twins won all three; they could use a repeat on Tuesday.
