The Toronto Blue Jays have been piling Jerome Brown Nike Jerseys up home runs and victories.Jose Bautista hit a grand slam, Edwin Encarnacion and Josh Donaldson also homered and the Blue Jays beat the Minnesota Twins 9-7 for their fourth straight victory. Encarnacion hit a three-run drive and Donaldson had a two-run shot. Toronto has homered in 17 of 18 games since the All-Star break, with 10 multihomer games in that span. ''We went out there today and we did what we do best,'' Bautista said. It was just another at bat for Jose Bautista even though the bases were loaded. With Toronto trailing http://www.nfleaglesofficial.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_JOSH_HUFF_JERSEY.html 3-2 in the second inning and the bases full, Bautista's thought process was simple. "Just get a good pitch to hit and hit it hard. Same thing that I think about every other at bat," said Bautista. "The situation for me doesn't change in that moment. "If anything, I feel a little bit more confident because I know the pitcher can't walk me, he can't really pitch around me. He has nowhere to go but pitch in the zone." ""We went out there and we did what we do best," said Bautista. "We scored some runs and it was enough to get the W, so it was a good win today." Bautista gave the Blue Jays a 6-3 lead in the second with the fifth grand slam of his career. The bases had been loaded after Ryan Goins and Kevin Pillar had singles and Donaldson walked. "I wasn't necessarily sitting on it, but we watch, we observe," said Bautista. "You'll also get a feel for the speed of pitches when you're up at the plate. I felt pretty good when that pitch came out of the hand and I felt nice and loose and fluid and I just took a nice hack." The Blue Jays will try Thursday to sweep Sammy Watkins Elite Jersey the four-game series between wild-card contenders. The slumping Twins have lost four in a row and are 5-13 since the All-Star break. ''I think we're all frustrated,'' Minnesota manager Paul Molitor said. ''We see what's happening and the fact that we're having trouble winning games.'' Miguel Sano homered and had three RBIs for the Twins, who had been held to one run in four of their previous five. Sano hit an RBI single and Trevor Plouffe doubled home two runs as the Twins jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first against Drew Hutchison (10-2). Toronto answered in the bottom half against right-hander Tyler Duffey (0-1), who was making his major league debut. Troy Tulowitzki walked and Donaldson hit his 29th homer, tying a career high. Bautista made it 6-3 in the second with his fifth career grand slam and 24th home run of the season. The slam http://www.bearsfootballprostore.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_LAMARR_HOUSTON_JERSEY.html gave Toronto its 38th four-run inning of the season, more than any other team. ''Our offense was on fire,'' Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.
