Floyd solid, Blue Jays beat Twins split squad 9-3

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Gavin Floyd pitched three strong innings and prospect Darrell Ceciliani hit a long grand slam, leading the Toronto Blue Jays past a Minnesota Twins split squad 9-3 on Tuesday.

Floyd, in the mix for the fifth spot in Toronto's rotation, allowed one hit, a solo shot by Korean slugger Byung Ho Park in the second. He also struck out two.

Floyd said he felt his mechanics were much better than his first start when he allowed a run in two innings against the Pirates.
