Stairs hits grand slam, Blue Jays beat Twins
by The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS -- Matt Stairs hit a grand slam as the Blue Jays beat the Twins 6-5 tonight in Minneapolis.

Roy Halladay rebounded from a shaky start to get the win for Toronto, which has beaten the Twins two straight nights.

Justin Morneau hit his seventh homer of the season, connecting off Halladay in the bottom of the first to make it 4-2.

Leading 5-4 in the eighth, Toronto added an insurance run on reliever Jesse Crain's throwing error. Crain had Scott Rolen picked off of second base, but overthrew third base and allowed Rolen to score.

Minnesota closed to within one on an RBI double by Jason Kubel but failed to tie the game.
