TORONTO (AP) \u2014 Jo Adell hit a pair of solo homers, Jos\u00e9 Soriano struck out seven over 7 2\/3 innings to stop a three-start winless steak and the Los Angeles Angels avoided a three-game sweep by beating the Toronto Blue Jays 6-1 on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Oswald Peraza added a two-run homer as Los Angeles ended an eight-game road losing streak dating to April 16, while also ending a nine-game slump in Toronto.<\/p>\n
Soriano (6-2) gave up two hits and a walk in the first inning, including Kazuma Okamoto\u2019s RBI double, but didn\u2019t allow another runner until Myles Straw reached in the eighth with an infield hit, ending a streak of 20 consecutive outs.<\/p>\n
Sam Bachman replaced Soriano after back-to-back singles loaded the bases and got Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to ground into a forceout.<\/p>\n
Peraza hit a two-run drive in a the fifth and Adell homered in the sixth and the ninth. All three homers came off Eric Lauer (1-5), who allowed six runs and five hits in five innings. He hasn\u2019t won since March 29 against the Athletics.<\/p>\n
Vaughn Grissom added a two-run double.<\/p>\n
Blue Jays right fielder Addison Barger was scratched from the lineup because of a sore right shoulder. Barger returned Saturday after missing 29 games because of a sore left ankle and made a 101.2 mph throw to retire Jorge Soler at home plate.<\/p>\n
