(The Sports Xchange) - Mark Buehrle did not feel so great on the mound on Thursday.

However, the Toronto left-hander said he still felt great about his team, and the Blue Jays backed him up by defeating the Minnesota Twins 9-3 to complete a sweep of the four-game series.

Designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion led the way with a homer, two doubles and four RBIs.

"If it's a rookie pitching or a guy that's been around for a while, we've got that feel of whose butt are we going to kick today," said Buehrle, who pitched seven innings and allowed five hits and one walk while striking out one.
