TORONTO -AP- Yasmany Tomas and Peter O'Brien homered, Patrick Corbin threw 6 1/3 solid innings and the Arizona Diamondbacksbeat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 on Tuesday night for their fifth straight win.Corbin (4-6) improved to 4-1 on the road, surrendering two hits and scattering eight hits over 6 1/3 innings. Arizona began this winning streak with a four-game sweep over the Philadelphia Phillies.The Blue Jays stranded seven runners and wasted a strong outing from Marco Estrada (5-3). The right-hander held Arizona to two hits and struck out eight in six innings, walking three and giving up three earned runs. The 32-year-old became the first pitcher since at least 1893 to allow five or fewer hits over six or more innings in 11 consecutive starts. 
In just their fourth game in Toronto -- and first since 2004 -- the Diamondbacks improved to 21-14 on the road this season, compared to 13-25 at home.Jake Barrett and Tyler Clippard got the Diamondbacks to the ninth, where Daniel Hudson got Justin Smoak to fly out to end the game and earn his first save of the season.Paul Goldschmidt ended his 13-game hitting streak and 23-game on-base streak -- the latter was tied for the longest in the majors with Houston's Jose Altuve entering Tuesday.Arizona took the lead in the third on a soft grounder to left field from Chris Herrmann, scoring Jean Segura, who had walked and stolen second for his second straight at-bat. Tomas' 10th home run of the season, a second-deck shot beyond the left-field fence, increased that edge to 3-0 one inning later.Kevin Pillar cut into that advantage in the bottom half of the inning, doubling home Michael Saunders and Troy Tulowitzki, but O'Brien's solo shot in the seventh, off the first pitch he saw from reliever Jesse Chavez, over the right-field wall padded the Diamondbacks' lead once more.Pillar robbed O'Brien of an extra-base hit in the fourth by leaping at the warning track and crashing into the wall while making a catch.
