 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Matt Stairs hit Toronto's third homer of the game in the eighth inning, a two-run shot that broke a tie and sent the Blue Jays to an 8-5 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Monday night.
Roy Halladay won his fifth straight decision and the Blue Jays got consecutive homers from Vernon Wells and Alex Rios in extending their winning streak to a season-high four games.
Stairs' drive slammed off the scoreboard high above the big baggie in right field, ending reliever Matt Guerrier's scoreless innings streak at 14 and giving Toronto a 7-5 lead. Adam Lind added a sacrifice fly later in the inning.
