Adam Lind homered twice and drove in five runs as the Toronto Blue Jays trounced the host Texas Rangers 10-3 Tuesday night.
Lind, who came into the game with just one home run in 85 at-bats, swatted a solo shot in the third inning and added a three-run blast in the fourth. It was the fifth multi-homer game of Lind's career and gives him 14 home runs all-time versus the Rangers, the most against any team in the majors.
Toronto put this one away early, scoring five runs in the first inning off losing pitcher Matt Harrison (3-2). He was tagged for seven runs in just three innings, marking his shortest outing as a starter since Sept. 19, 2008.
The miserable performance ballooned his ERA from 1.88 to 3.69.
Toronto's biggest offensive output since Opening Day made a winner out of Jesse Litsch (2-1), who was charged with three runs on seven hits over six innings.
Texas' Michael Young went 0-for-4 in the loss, halting his hitting streak at 15 games. It was just the third time all season Young was kept off the basepaths.
