Minnesota at Toronto

Minnesota has lost five in a row and the Twins have scored only seven runs their past six games, including a 4-2 loss at Tampa Bay on Thursday when they managed only six hits. The Twins should be embarrassed to be in first place in the AL Central with a sub-.500 record and they are 13-18 on the road as they head to Toronto. The Blue Jays have been hot lately winning seven of eight and they got great pitching the last three games versus Houston when they won all three and allowed a total of only five runs. Yusei Kikuchi is 6-2 with a 1.37 WHIP and has gotten good run support from his Toronto teammates and he has given up four runs on seven hits in 10 innings his past two starts. Kikuchi is 3-1 with a 3.55 ERA at home compared to 3-1 and 5.00 on the road. Sonny Gray lost his last outing 4-2 when he gave up 10 hits and three runs in 6 2/3 innings against Cleveland. The Twins have lost 45 of their past 65 road games. Take the Blue Jays.
