导出博客文章PHOENIX -- Power hitting is the norm for the Toronto Blue Jays.When they add a
quality pitching performance, the results are impressive.Josh Donaldson and
Edwin Encarnacion each hit two-run homers and Marcus Stroman went eight strong
innings in the Blue Jays 10-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on
Wednesday.Donaldsons homer off Patrick Corbin landed in the Chase Field swimming
pool in the first inning. Encarnacions soaring shot off Daniel Hudson, projected
at 471 feet, landed far down the walkway beyond the left field seats in the
eighth.That was the loudest ball Ive ever witnessed live in a stadium, by far,
Stroman said. I was under (in the clubhouse) and I ran out and saw where it
landed. It was pretty special. Hes the man.It was Encarnacions 26th home run of
the season and ninth in his last eight games at Chase.I havent seen many like
that, manager John Gibbons said. He rakes it in this place.Stroman (8-4) allowed
a run and eight hits to help the Blue Jays sweep the two-game series. He bounced
back from a rough outing in Oakland.I didnt command the ball as good in Oakland,
he said. Spinning pitches were left kind of more middle. I just had more action
on my pitches today.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.It was another power display for Toronto.Weve always that. Thats kind of
our trademark and you live and die with that, Gibbons said. Were getting another
guy back here Monday (Jose Bautista) thats pretty good at doing that, too.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.But Arizona manager Chip Hale wasnt all that critical.Early,
he was not getting ahead in the count and obviously got hurt, he said. Left the
ball out over the plate to Donaldson and he hit it out. Second, third, fourth
innings, really got ahead in the count, threw a lot of first-pitch strikes and
controlled the zone. I thought he really pitched well.Tuffy Gosewisch hit a
three-run homer in the ninth for Arizona.Corbin had thrown only five pitches and
Toronto led 2-0.Barney opened the game with a single, then Donaldson lined a 1-0
pitch for a splashdown into the pool beyond the fence in right, his 24th home
run.Donaldson ended Corbins day with two outs in the sixth with a shot that hit
just below the home run line in the porch in left-center field.Arizona got its
unearned run in the first when Jean Segura scored on right fielder Junior Lakes
errant throw to third.BARNEY IN LEFTBarney, an infielder by trade, made his
first career start in left field and made two nice catches, one up against the
wall.Hes a great athlete, Gibbons said. He catches fly balls all the time. Why
cant he catch them out there, too?Barney was inserted in the lineup after
Michael Saunders left the team for personal reasons.Gibbons said Saunders is
expected back for Fridays game in Toronto against Seattle.TRAINERS ROOMBlue
Jays: Bautista (turf toe) was to make his first rehab start Wednesday night for
Class A Dunedin and play three rehab games for Triple-A Buffalo over the
weekend. He could rejoin the Blue Jays on Monday.Diamondbacks: RHP Zack Greinke
(left oblique strain) said he threw hard for the first time while playing catch
from 120 to 150 feet on Tuesday. Manager Chip Hale said Greinke could have
bullpen workout in the next few days. C Welington Castillo, struck in the hand
by a pitch on Monday night, was fine, Hale said. He was out of the lineup
Wednesday but was available.UP NEXTBlue Jays: Blue Jays have Thursday off and
begin a nine-game homestand Friday night with a game against Seattle. RH Marco
