Jorge Polanco had five hits, including a two-run home run, Kyle Gibson struck out a career-high 11 and the Minnesota Twins beat Toronto 9-1 on Wednesday, completing a three-game sweep of the struggling Blue Jays.

Polanco raised his average to .344, tops in the AL.

Eddie Rosario hit his AL-leading 13th home run, one of four long balls by the Twins. Minnesota had 18 hits, one shy of its season high. C. J. Cron had a two-run homer among his four hits and Jonathan Schoop added a two-run shot as the Twins swept a series for the fifth time this season.

Gibson (3-1) allowed one run on two hits in six innings to win for the third time in four starts.
