The first career grand slam by Dave Edwards sparked the Twins to a 9-4 thumping of the Blue Jays. With the Twins trailing, 2-1, in the third inning, Glenn Adams singled and Butch Wynegar and Ron Jackson drew walks to set the stage for Edwards' blast. John Castino drilled a three-run double in the fifth and Wynegar connected for a solo homer in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
