Lyle Overbay ended a lengthy slump with three hits, including one of Toronto’s five home runs, as the Blue Jays outslugged the Texas Rangers 16-10 on Friday.
Overbay, who came into the game mired in an 8-for-53 rut, belted a solo homer to kick off an eight-run third inning for the Blue Jays. Vernon Wells and Travis Snider added three-run shots in the frame, before Aaron Hill and Adam Lind went back-to-back to highlight Toronto’s four-run fourth.
Josh Roenicke (1-0) earned the win for Toronto despite allowing two runs in 1 1/3 innings.
Nelson Cruz paced the Rangers with four RBIs in his first game since being activated from the 15-day disabled list. Vladimir Guerrero added three hits and three RBIs in defeat.
Neither starter lasted past the third inning. Jays left-hander Brett Cecil was tagged for eight runs in just two innings of work, while Texas counterpart Rich Harden surrendered seven runs and tied a season high by issuing six walks in 2 2/3 innings.
Doug Mathis (1-1) absorbed the loss after giving up eight runs in 1 1/3 innings.
The teams’ pitchers combined to allow 26 hits and 17 walks.
