PHOENIX (AP) -- Josh Donaldson and Edwin Encarnacion each hit two-run homers and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-4 on Wednesday.
Donaldson's homer off Patrick Corbin landed in the Chase Field swimming pool in the first inning. Encarnacion's soaring shot off Daniel Hudson, projected at 471 feet, landed far down the walkway beyond the left field seats in the eighth.
It was Encarnacion's 26th home run of the season and ninth in his last eight games at Chase.
 
Donaldson and Encarnacion homer, help Blue Jays beat Arizona
 
Marcus Stroman (8-4) allowed only an unearned run on eight hits in eight innings to help the Blue Jays sweep the two-game series.
Darwin Barney tripled in two runs and brought another home with a sacrifice fly for Toronto. Devon Travis had three hits, two of them doubles.
Corbin (4-9) was tagged for six runs, five earned, on nine hits in 5 2-3 innings to fall to 0-7 at home.
Tuffy Gosewisch hit a three-run homer in the ninth for Arizona.
Corbin had thrown only five pitches and Toronto led 2-0.
Barney opened the game with a single, then Donaldson lined a 1-0 pitch for a splashdown into the pool beyond the fence in right, his 24th home run.
Donaldson ended Corbin's day with two outs in the sixth with a shot that hit just below the home run line in the porch in left-center field.
Arizona got its unearned run in the first when Jean Segura scored on right fielder Junior Lake's errant throw to third.
BARNEY IN LEFT
Barney, an infielder by trade, made his first career start in left field and made a nice running catch just outside the foul line of Corbin's line drive in the second.
Barney was inserted in the lineup after Michael Saunders left the team for personal reasons.
Manager John Gibbons said Saunders is expected back for Friday's game in Toronto against Seattle.
