Minneapolis ? The Minnesota Twins were glad to see the New York Yankees leave town Monday.

Alfonso Soriano hit a grand slam and Nick Johnson homered twice to give David Wells more than enough support as the Yankees completed their second straight season sweep of the Twins with a 15-1 victory.

“We got lambasted,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. “We’re a long way from being in their league, from what I saw out there.”

The Yankees won all four games and have beaten the Twins 13 straight times the past two seasons, outhomering them 31-2 in that span.

“I’d like to give you my glove and let you try to face that lineup,” Minnesota starter Rick Reed told reporters after giving up a career-high 11 runs.

Wells, who pitched a perfect game against Minnesota in 1998, ran the rotation’s record to 14-0 — the longest winning streak to start a season since 1900.

In this series, Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Mike Mussina and Wells struck out 26 in 291¼3 innings, giving up only 23 hits and six runs.

“It comes down to starting pitching,” said Bernie Williams, who hit a two-run homer in the ninth off J.C. Romero. “It just gives our offense a good chance to get something going. It is a luxury we are experiencing right now.”

Wells (3-0) pitched a seven-hitter for his second complete game of the season, both against the Twins. Dustan Mohr spoiled the shutout bid in the eighth with his second home run of the season.

But by then it was too late.

Erick Almonte had a career-high three hits and Raul Mondesi also went 3-for-4 for the Yankees, who had 14 hits and lead the majors with 39 homers.

New York has more homers than Detroit has runs (34) this season.

“Everything we threw up there, they whacked,” Gardenhire said.

Blue Jays 11, Red Sox 6

Boston — Chris Woodward hit a two-run homer and Greg Myers homered and drove in four runs as Toronto snapped Boston’s seven-game winning streak. The Blue Jays spoiled Boston’s annual Patriots Day game and averted a sweep of the four-game weekend series. Indians 9, White Sox 2

Chicago — Ellis Burks and Karim Garcia each homered twice as Cleveland won for the second straight day.

Carlos Lee went deep in his fifth straight game, matching a club record. But it wasn’t enough to catch the Indians, who have won two straight for the first time since the season-opening series against Baltimore. Milton Bradley added a pair of RBIs, and Jake Westbrook (1-2) earned his first victory as a starter since July 25, 2001. The Indians roughed up Jon Garland (0-2)early, tagging him for five runs and five hits in just 22¼3 innings.

Orioles 4, Devil Rays 0

Baltimore — Rick Helling (1-1) allowed four hits in eight innings and Jerry Hairston homered off Steve Parris (0-2) as Baltimore beat Tampa Bay.

Baltimore won for the fifth time in six games in front of 18,017 fans — the smallest crowd in Camden Yards’ 12-year history. Buddy Groom finished the Orioles’ first shutout since beating Anaheim 3-0 last July 2. Tampa Bay, which was blanked for the second time this season, has dropped six of seven.
