Blue Jays beaten by Braves

Camargo’s grand slam lifts Atlanta over Toronto, 11-4

TORONTO — Johan Camargo hit his first career grand slam and drove in five runs as the Atlanta Braves defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 11-4 on Tuesday in the opener of a two-game interleague series.

The nine-hole hitter was 4-for-5 with the homer — that was crushed to the third deck at Rogers Centre — a double and two singles to raise his batting average from .221 to .240.

Charlie Culberson also homered for the first-place Braves (43-29), who opened play with the best record in the National League.

Ender Inciarte had three RBIs and Ozzie Albies and Dansby Swanson each drove in one.

Luke Maile and Yangervis Solarte had two RBIs apiece as the Blue Jays (33-39) saw their seven-game home winning streak come to an end.

Jaime Garcia (2-6) lasted just threeplus innings and allowed five hits and five runs while walking three batters.

Canadian right-hander Mike Soroka, in his second start since returning from a shoulder injury, allowed four runs and eighth hits over 4 2/3 for Atlanta. Sam Freeman (2-3) pitched 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief to earn the win.

Soroka, a 20-year-old from Calgary, became the youngest Canadian-born pitcher to start an MLB game north of the border.
