Blue Jays 11, Giants 3: Adam Lind and J.P. Arencibia hit two-run homers and Ramon Ortiz tossed seven strong innings as host Toronto earned its first series victory over San Francisco.
Toronto struck early and often for the second night in a row, chasing San Francisco starter Ryan Vogelsong (1-4) after just two innings en route to its season-high fourth consecutive victory. Ortiz (1-1) limited the Giants to a run on six hits in his second major-league start since 2011.
Vogelsong was tagged for eight runs - three earned - on six hits in his shortest outing since making a relief appearance April 18, 2011 against Colorado. Angel Pagan finished with three hits for the Giants, who had won their first four series against Toronto.
Trailing 1-0, Toronto took advantage of a pair of San Francisco errors to vault ahead in the first. Jose Bautista reached after Marco Scutaro botched a pop up in shallow right field, and he and Edwin Encarnacion scored when Arencibia's sinking liner deflected off Pagan's glove and rolled into left-center.
Lind followed with a two-run blast to the right-field seats, and Arencibia went deep to left in the second as the Jays opened up a 10-1 advantage through three frames. Ortiz silenced the Giants from there, allowing two runners past first base after the opening inning.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Winds were blowing so hard prior to the game that the batting cage ended up 20 feet in front of home plate. ... The Giants made four first-inning errors in the series, leading to 10 Toronto runs. ... The Blue Jays have scored 10 or more runs in three straight games for the first time since May 30-June 1, 2003.
