Kazuma Okamoto homered, doubled and drove in three runs, Nathan Lukes had three hits and three RBIs, and the Toronto Blue Jays used an eight-run first inning to cruise to a 10-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Okamoto had a two-run double in the first and leadoff man Lukes had two hits in the frame, including a three-run double to cap the big inning off Ryne Nelson (1-2), who retired one of the 10 batters he faced.<\/p>\n

Vladimir Guerrero had three hits and two RBIs to extend his hitting streak to 10 games and Ernie Clement had two doubles as the Jays broke a four-game losing streak while tying season highs for runs and hits.<\/p>\n

Okamoto homered in the third, his third of the season and first since March 30. He was in a 2 for 28 skid until singling twice in Arizona\u2019s 6-2 win Saturday.<\/p>\n

Jorge Barrosa had a two-run homer and Adrian Del Castillo had two hits and an RBI-double for the D-Backs, who had won four in a row and 10 of 13.<\/p>\n

Barrosa replaced Corbin Carroll in the top of the fifth inning after Carroll left with low back tightness, the Diamondbacks said.<\/p>\n

Kevin Gausman (1-1) gave up two runs on seven hits in six innings, with four strikeouts and one walk.<\/p>\n

D-Backs first baseman Ildemaro Vargas had a single to extend his season-opening hitting streak to 15 games, a franchise record. He has an 18-game hitting streak dating to last September, the longest active streak in the majors.<\/p>\n

The Jays had seven straight hits to open the game off Nelson and led 2-0 after eight pitches, 5-0 after 20 pitches and 8-0 after 30 pitches when Lukes\u2019s three-run double knocked out Nelson.<\/p>\n

Guerrero had a two-run single, Eloy Jimenez singled in a run and Okamoto had a two-run double to give the Jays a 5-0 lead. After a walk and a strikeout, Lukes lined an opposite field double into the left-field corner.<\/p>\n
