Blue Jays 7, Brewers 4: Edwin Encarnacion lined a three-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning as Toronto completed a two-game sweep of visiting Milwaukee.

Juan Francisco and Jose Bautista also homered while Encarnacion, Melky Cabrera, Jose Reyes and Adam Lind each had two hits for the Blue Jays. Casey Janssen (3-0) pitched a perfect ninth inning to earn the victory as Toronto improved to 9-6 in interleague play after Encarnacion’s 26th blast of the season.

Ryan Braun had a pair of hits and two RBIs for the Brewers, who were swept in a series for the first time this season and have dropped three straight overall. Jonathan Lucroy and Carlos Gomez knocked in a run apiece and Will Smith (1-1) put the first two runners on in the ninth after a scoreless eighth.

Lind’s two-out, run-scoring double in the third inning and Francisco's two-run shot to right in the fourth tied the game at 4-4. Reyes doubled and Cabrera was intentionally walked to start the ninth and, after a fielder’s choice and a strikeout, Encarnacion drilled a 3-1 pitch from Brandon Kintzler into the left-field seats to end it.

A two-out RBI bloop single by Gomez gave Milwaukee the lead in the first inning before Bautista’s blast to center field tied it in the bottom of the frame. Braun tripled off center fielder Colby Rasmus’ glove to knock in a pair of runs in the third and later scored on Lucroy’s sacrifice fly for a 4-1 lead.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Milwaukee LF Khris Davis, who leads the team with 14 homers, was held out of the lineup Wednesday with a left shoulder strain and is day-to-day. … Toronto starter LHP J.A. Happ retired 15 of the last 16 batters he faced and allowed four runs on six hits over seven innings while Brewers RHP Wily Peralta yielded four runs on nine hits in six-plus frames. … Managers Ron Roenicke of Milwaukee and Toronto’s John Gibbons were both ejected in the top of the eighth inning for arguing calls.
