TORONTO (AP) – Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays extended their winning streak to seven games, beating the Miami Marlins 4-3 on Tuesday night.
Returning to the lineup after sitting out the previous two games with a sore left shoulder, Encarnacion connected off A.J. Ramos (0-1) with a one-out drive to center, his 13th. It was the fourth walkoff homer of Encarnacion’s career.
Giancarlo Stanton hit two solo home runs for the Marlins, who lost for the third time in four games. Stanton leads the majors with 21 homers and 51 RBIs.
Liam Hendriks (2-0) pitched one inning for the win.
Encarnacion’s drive denied Dan Haren his third straight win. Haren allowed two runs and three hits in seven innings. He walked none and struck out seven, matching his season high.
