The Atlanta Braves got a pair of three-run homers from Mauricio Dubon and Ozzie Albies and rolled to a 7-3 win over visiting Toronto on Wednesday, handing the Blue Jays their fourth straight loss.
Dubon went deep in the third inning against starter Patrick Corbin, his fourth home run. Albies hit his 10th homer in the seventh inning against reliever Adam Macko.
The Braves have won six of their last eight games and improved to 19-7 against left-handed starters. The win improved Atlanta's record to 17-2-1 in series.
Atlanta starter Grant Holmes (4-2) shook off a shaky start and allowed two runs on five hits and two walks. Holmes struck out four, including Brandon Valenzuela with runners on the corner to end a threat in the fourth inning.
Dylan Lee pitched a scoreless seventh and Robert Suarez worked a scoreless eighth. Tyler Kinley struck out two but allowed a solo homer to Valenzuela, his fifth, in the ninth inning.
Corbin (2-2) pitched five innings and allowed four runs on six hits and two walks, striking out one. It was the most runs Corbin has allowed since his first start on April 10, as he absorbed his 12th straight loss to the Braves, a streak dating back to Sept. 6, 2019.
The first three batters reached base for Toronto, but the Jays produced only one run when Jesus Sanchez grounded into a double play.
The Braves evened the score with a run in the second inning. Eli White singled, stole second base and scored on Ha-Seong Kim's RBI single.
Toronto regained the lead in the third on a solo homer by Nathan Lukes, his first. He earlier singled to extend his hitting streak to a career-long 10 games.
Atlanta rallied with two outs to score three times in the third. Matt Olson singled, Albies doubled and Dubon hit a three-run homer into the Braves bullpen in right field.
The Braves put it away in the seventh. Dominic Smith walked and Olson singled to set up Albies' homer to left field.
