Twins rough up Blue Jays, snap losing streak

TORONTO -- After struggling in the extreme heat at Wrigley Field in his season debut on June 30, lefty Adalberto Mejia was given a bit of a respite in his second start of the season, pitching in the climate-controlled Rogers Centre against the Blue Jays on Monday night.

Mejia fared much better this time out -- throwing 5 1/3 strong innings -- while the offense was powered by three hits from Joe Mauer and Mitch Garver and homers from Logan Morrison and Max Kepler in an 8-3 win to snap a three-game losing streak coming out of the break.
