PHOENIX -- Power hitting is the norm for the Toronto Blue Jays.When they add a quality pitching performance, the results are impressive.Josh Donaldson and Edwin Encarnacion each hit two-run homers and Marcus Stroman went eight strong innings in the Blue Jays 10-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday.Donaldsons homer off Patrick Corbin landed in the Chase Field swimming pool in the first inning. Encarnacions soaring shot off Daniel Hudson, projected at 471 feet, landed far down the walkway beyond the left field seats in the eighth.That was the loudest ball Ive ever witnessed live in a stadium, by far, Stroman said. I was under (in the clubhouse) and I ran out and saw where it landed. It was pretty special. Hes the man.It was Encarnacions 26th home run of the season and ninth in his last eight games at Chase.I havent seen many like that, manager John Gibbons said. He rakes it in this place.Stroman (8-4) allowed a run and eight hits to help the Blue Jays sweep the two-game series. He bounced back from a rough outing in Oakland.I didnt command the ball as good in Oakland, he said. Spinning pitches were left kind of more middle. I just had more action on my pitches today.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.It was another power display for Toronto.Weve always that. Thats kind of our trademark and you live and die with that, Gibbons said. Were getting another guy back here Monday (Jose Bautista) thats pretty good at doing that, too.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.But Arizona manager Chip Hale wasnt all that critical.Early, he was not getting ahead in the count and obviously got hurt, he said. Left the ball out over the plate to Donaldson and he hit it out. Second, third, fourth innings, really got ahead in the count, threw a lot of first-pitch strikes and controlled the zone. I thought he really pitched well.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 Corbins 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 Lakes errant throw to third.BARNEY IN LEFTBarney, an infielder by trade, made his first career start in left field and made two nice catches, one up against the wall.Hes a great athlete, Gibbons said. He catches fly balls all the time. Why cant he catch them out there, too?Barney was inserted in the lineup after Michael Saunders left the team for personal reasons.Gibbons said Saunders is expected back for Fridays game in Toronto against Seattle.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: Bautista (turf toe) was to make his first rehab start Wednesday night for Class A Dunedin and play three rehab games for Triple-A Buffalo over the weekend. He could rejoin the Blue Jays on Monday.Diamondbacks: RHP Zack Greinke (left oblique strain) said he threw hard for the first time while playing catch from 120 to 150 feet on Tuesday. Manager Chip Hale said Greinke could have bullpen workout in the next few days. C Welington Castillo, struck in the hand by a pitch on Monday night, was fine, Hale said. He was out of the lineup Wednesday but was available.UP NEXTBlue Jays: Blue Jays have Thursday off and begin a nine-game homestand Friday night with a game against Seattle. RH Marco Estrada (5-3, 2.93 ERA) pitches for Toronto, LH James Paxton (2-4, 4.56) for Seattle.Diamondbacks: Arizona takes Thursday off before embarking on a 10-game road trip. The Diamondbacks send RH Archie Bradley (3-5, 4.37 ERA) to the mound in Cincinnati against Reds RH Dan Straily (4-6, 4.07). Bo Jackson Jersey .

LIVERPOOL, England -- Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp has held talks with Mamadou Sakho following the France defenders middle-of-the-night comments on social media about his current marginalization from the first team.Sakho took to Snapchat in the early hours of Saturday to question why he is not currently being considered for selection by Liverpool. He hasnt played since April, first while serving a provisional ban for a failed drug test -- that was later dismissed by UEFA -- and then being sent home from the preseason tour of the United States because of concerns over his attitude.He was not available for the start of the season because of a leg injury.Now its three weeks since I am fit to play games, Sakho wrote. They dont want me to play also with second team .dddddddddddd.. Why I dont know. I accept my situation but I cant accept the lie.Asked Thursday if Sakho should just keep quiet and work hard, Klopp said: Thats not, I would say, a rule for Mamadou Sakho, its a rule for every player -- work hard, do your best. I spoke to the team and I spoke to Mama and we spoke together and thats it.Sakho made his first appearance of the season for Liverpools under-23 side against Wolfsburg on Wednesday. He will continue with the under-23s for a game this weekend.Sakho was a regular for much of last season. ' ' '
