Buxton’s Bat Leads Twins over Toronto

TORONTO (AP) — Byron Buxton homered three times and set a career high with five RBIs, helping the Minnesota Twins beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-2 on Sunday.

Buxton had four hits, scored four runs and stole a base in his first career multihomer game. Kyle Gibson pitched into the seventh inning as Minnesota earned a rare series victory north of the border.

The Twins have won a major league-best 15 games since Aug. 6.
