TORONTO — Alejandro Kirk had two home runs, including a two-run shot, to power the Toronto Blue Jays past the Angels 6-1 on Saturday after a scary incident when Los Angeles left-fielder Taylor Ward was struck by a pitch.
Santiago Espinal's two-run homer also scored Kirk as Toronto (59-46) won its third straight. Whit Merrifield drove in another run in the same inning with an RBI double.
Starter Alek Manoah allowed a run on four hits and three walks over 4 1/3 innings while striking out six.
