ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Darwin Barney's two-run homer capped a six-run first inning and the Toronto Blue Jays held on for a 7-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night.
Ryan Goins drove in three runs for Toronto, including a two-run double in the first that preceded Barney's homer off Tyson Ross (1-1).

Barney was 4 for 40 in his previous 15 games.
Joey Gallo hit his 19th homer for Texas, though it was off the wall instead of over it. His inside-the-park shot leading off the fifth was among his career-high three extra-base hits - he also had two doubles and scored three runs.
Joe Biagini (2-6) struck out five in 5 2/3 innings to win for the first time in seven starts since May 12.
