Twins Squelch Blue Jays Offense in Shutout Win
Right-hander Jose Lopez mesmerized the Toronto Blue Jays while leading the Minnesota Twins to a 4-0 victory. Minnesota, with the win, climbs to 10-23.

Minnesota relied on the bat of Joel Kunkler to get the win. The right fielder ripped a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Twins ahead, 2-0. For the game, Kunkler had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Kunkler said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
