A two-run triple by Luis Gomez capped a five-run fourth inning that enabled the Blue Jays to snap their four-game losing streak with a 5-1 victory over the Twins. The first run scored on a wild pitch and the second scored on a sacrifice fly by John Mayberry. An RBI double by Dave McKay preceded Gomez' three-base hit to the left-center wall.
