Donaldson and Encarnacion homer, help Blue Jays beat Arizona

By Bob Baum

PHOENIX – Josh Donaldson and Edwin Encarnacion each hit two-run homers and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-4 on Wednesday.

Donaldson’s homer off Patrick Corbin landed in the Chase Field swimming pool in the first inning. Encarnacion’s soaring shot off Daniel Hudson, projected at 471 feet, landed far down the walkway beyond the left field seats in the eighth.

It was Encarnacion’s 26th home run of the season and ninth in his last eight games at Chase.

Marcus Stroman (8-4) allowed only an unearned run on eight hits in eight innings to help the Blue Jays sweep the two-game series.

Darwin Barney tripled in two runs and brought another home with a sacrifice fly for Toronto. Devon Travis had three hits, two of them doubles.

Corbin (4-9) was tagged for six runs, five earned, on nine hits in 5 2-3 innings to fall to 0-7 at home.
