TORONTO — Alejandro Kirk hit two home runs, Santiago Espinal added a two-run homer and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-1. Kirk hit a leadoff homer against former Blue Jays left-hander Aaron Loup in the seventh inning, then hit a two-run shot off right-hander Jaime Barria in the eighth. It was Kirk's first multihomer game of the season and the fourth of his career. Shohei Ohtani started for the Angels after leaving Friday's game in the ninth because of cramps in both legs. Ohtani was hit by a pitch in the first inning, doubled in the third, and was intentionally walked in both the fifth and sixth. He struck out looking in the ninth.
