Jose Ramirez hit a two-run homer in a three-run 10th inning and the visiting Cleveland Indians defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 5-2 Monday afternoon in the opener of a four-game series.
Cleveland took the lead in the 10th against Brad Hand (5-6) when Myles Straw, placed at second base, took third on a wild pitch and scored on a single by Amed Rosario, who was 3-for-4 with two stolen bases.
Ramirez followed with his 23rd homer of the season and the 150th of his career, a high drive down the left-field line.
Bryan Shaw (4-5) got the win after allowing a walk with two strikeouts in a scoreless ninth.
Emmanuel Clase pitched a perfect 10th to earn his 14th save as the Blue Jays' winning streak ended at four.

Blue Jays left-hander Robbie Ray allowed two runs, six hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out four.
Indians right-hander Eli Morgan allowed two runs, five hits and one walk in six innings. The rookie struck out nine, matching his career high.
Cleveland took a 2-0 lead in the third.
Straw led off with a single to left and Rosario hit an infield single to second base. The runners then executed a double steal. Franmil Reyes walked to load the bases with one out. Harold Ramirez singled to right to score Straw, but Rosario was called out at home in a close play on the throw from Randal Grichuk. Oscar Mercado then followed with an RBI single.
In the fifth inning the Indians had a runner at third with no outs after Rosario led off with a walk, stole second and continued to third on catcher Alejandro Kirk's throwing error. Ray retired the next three batters on a shallow fly ball and two strikeouts.
Morgan struck out four batters in a row before Kirk doubled with two out in the fifth. Morgan ended the inning with another strikeout, retiring Cavan Biggio.
