'He called an amazing game and then backed it up with a couple of home runs,' Indians rookie right-hander Cody Anderson said. It was the second multihomer game of the season for Gomes and the third of his career. Gomes tied it 2-all with a leadoff drive off Marco Estrada in the seventh, then knotted it at 3-all with a one-out blast off closer Roberto Osuna in the ninth. 'You never expect home runs from (Goins) but he's had a few and a couple of big ones.' 'That was a big win for us,' Gibbons said. One out later, Goins drilled the game-winning homer into the right-field bullpen, his fifth. Yan Gomes hit two home runs and Michael Brantley also connected but it wasn't enough for the Indians.ĭioner Navarro singled off Bryan Shaw (3-3) to begin the 10th and was replaced by pinch-runner Ezequiel Carrera. Mark Lowe (1-2) induced one out for the victory as AL East-leading Toronto won for the fourth time in five games and remained 1½ games ahead of the New York Yankees, who beat Boston 3-1.
