Santana homers, Ober fans 10 as red

TORONTO (AP) — Carlos Santana hit a three-run home run, Bailey Ober matched his career high by striking out 10 over 6 1/3 shutout innings and the Minnesota Twins won for the 17th time in 20 games, beating the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1 on Sunday.

The Twins have won six consecutive series for the first time since September 2010.

Minnesota lost 13 of its first 20 games this season before a 12-game winning streak turned things around.

“Seventeen in 20 is pretty cool to hear, especially where we started at,” Ober said. “I think everyone is just taking it day by day and excited to show up and go out there and play.”

Santana homered for the third straight game north of the U.S. border, extending to 20 Minnesota’s streak of games in Toronto with at least one home run. The Twins homered in 21 straight games at Kansas City between July 30, 1998, and Aug. 25, 2001.
