Gavin Floyd picked  up his second win of the spring with three innings of one run, one hit ball as the Blue Jays beat the Twins 9-3 to post their sixth win of the spring.  Floyd was the beneficiary of a Darrell Ceciliani grand slam homer in the bottom of the first.  David Adams also added a solo homer in the fifth.  Tyler Duffy took the loss for the Twins allowing five runs on four hits over three innings.  The Blue Jays travel to Port Charlotte on Wednesday to face the Rays with a 1:05 first pitch.
