Odor had been in an 0-for-21 slump that reduced his average to .122 before he drove a pitch from Clay Buchholz over the back bullpen wall in right-centre field for a two-run homer in the second inning.
Odour's homer followed a run-scoring double by Cabrera, who had been hitless in his previous nine at-bats. Odor also had a run-scoring single in the fifth. In the third, Cabrera added a three-run homer -- his seventh of the season, all at home -- to put Texas ahead 6-1.Drew Smyly came off the injured list to hold Toronto to one run and two hits in four innings in his first game since April 19. He had been sidelined with mid-arm nerve tightness.Kyle Dowdy entered the game to start the fifth with a 7-1 lead and pitched two scoreless innings.
