The Blue Jays went through some growing pains on a wet night in Minnesota on Wednesday, with a couple of young pitchers battling the Twins lineup in a 4-1 loss at Target Field. Jays starter Trent Thornton, trying to bounce back after an off-night against the Tampa Bay Rays last weekend, was charged with all four runs in 42/3 innings of work. Rookie reliever Elvis Luciano came on with two out in the fifth and a runner on first, then walked C.J. Cron, uncorked a wild pitch and surrendered an RBI single by Marwin Gonzalez before settling down and retiring the next four batters he faced.
