MINNEAPOLIS -- Josh Donaldson clubbed a pair of homers to back a gem by Marco Estrada, as the Blue Jays pushed past the Twins, 7-2, on Saturday night at Target Field. Minnesota has now lost back-to-back games to Toronto and dropped its lead for the second American League Wild Card spot to 1 1/2 games, pending the result of the Angels-Rangers game.
Estrada allowed two runs over a season-high eight innings, in which Estrada gave up three hits with four strikeouts and one walk. Eddie Rosario recorded the first hit off Estrada with a leadoff home run in the fifth, while Eduardo Escobar crushed a solo shot in the eighth.
