Blue Jays 5, Indians 3 (10 innings)
TORONTO -- Ryan Goins hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning Tuesday and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Cleveland Indians 5-3.
With his homer against right-hander Bryan Shaw (3-3), Goins, the Jays second baseman, extended his career-best hit streak to 11 games.
Yan Gomes tied the game 3-3 with his second homer in the game with one out in the ninth against right-hander Roberto Osuna.
The first homer of the game by Gomes, the Indians catcher and former Blue Jay, tied the game 2-2 in the seventh.
The win by the Blue Jays (75-57) ended a six-game winning streak by the Indians (64-67) and set up a rubber match in the three-game series on Wednesday.
Blue Jays right-hander Marco Estrada allowed five hits, one walk and two runs and struck out two in seven innings and did not factor in the decision.
Indians right-hander Cody Anderson allowed three hits, two walks and two runs while striking out two in six innings and did not factor in the decision.
Left fielder Michael Brantley also homered for the Indians.
DH Edwin Encarnacion took a 26-game hit streak into the game and appeared to have a chance to extend it in the sixth, but shortstop Francisco Lindor went down to spear his low line drive. Encarnacion finished the game 0-for-2 with a walk and a sacrifice fly.
Right-hander Ryan Webb took over from Anderson, a 24-year-old making his 10th major league start, in the home seventh.
Webb walked first baseman Justin Smoak and outfielder Dalton Pompey ran for him. Pompey, just recalled from Triple-A Buffalo, stole second with one out and center fielder Kevin Pillar at the plate, then stole third. He scored on Pillar's sacrifice fly, Toronto's third of the game, to give Toronto a 3-2 lead.
Right-hander Aaron Sanchez replaced Estrada in the eighth and pitched around a one-out double by Lindor.
But Gomes tied the game in the ninth with his 11th home run of the season.
Center fielder Abraham Almonte followed with a triple but Osuna retired the next two hitters.
Left-hander Brett Cecil allowed a one-out double to Lindor in the 10th. First baseman Carlos Santana was intentionally walked with two out and right-hander Mark Lowe (1-2) entered to face pinch-hitter Jerry Sands, who grounded out to shortstop.
Catcher Dioner Navarro led off the bottom of the 10th with a single Shaw. Outfielder Ezequiel Carrera ran for him. With one out, Goins hit his fifth homer of the season to win the game.
The Blue Jays took a 1-0 lead in the first on singles by third baseman Josh Donaldson and right fielder Jose Bautista and a sacrifice fly to deep center by Encarnacion.
The Blue Jays added to the lead in the third. Goins walked, took third on a single by left fielder Ben Revere and scored on Bautista's sacrifice fly to left.
Brantley hit his 12th homer of the season with one out in the fourth on a 2-0 pitch.
