Twins use 2 big frames to protect WC position

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins erased an early five-run deficit with a pair of huge innings to power past the Blue Jays, 13-7, on Sunday at Target Field. With the win, Minnesota split the four-game set and resides 1 1/2 games ahead of the Angels for the second American League Wild Card spot, pending Los Angeles' result against the Rangers.

Minnesota batted around in both the second and fifth innings, pouring in seven and six runs in each frame, respectively. Eddie Rosario and Byron Buxton hit back-to-back homers in the second, while Buxton added an RBI double later in the inning.
