TORONTO \u2013 The dynamic duo of Mike Trout and Albert Pujols got the best of Marco Estrada.<\/p>\n

Trout and Pujols hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning as the Los Angeles Angels snapped an 11-game road losing streak Wednesday night by routing the Toronto Blue Jays 8-2.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have two of the best hitters on one team, made two good pitches to them and they hit them out,\u201d Estrada said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got hit around with some decent pitches out there, it\u2019s going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pujols moved into sole possession of 10th all-time on the MLB home run list with his 584th career homer in the first that moved him past Mark McGwire. He finished the night with four hits and three runs-batted in on a slightly muggy night at Rogers Centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s pretty special,\u201d Trout said of his teammate\u2019s accomplishment. \u201cObviously he and McGwire were teammates, they know each other well. It\u2019s pretty special for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe hasn\u2019t shown any signs of slowing down. He\u2019s still putting up numbers, still driving in 100. It\u2019s fun to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was the start of a rough night for Estrada, who went five innings, giving up six earned runs on 10 hits, walking three (one intentional) and striking out four. The Mexican right hander hasn\u2019t gone past the fifth inning in three-straight starts.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was off,\u201d Toronto manager John Gibbons admitted. \u201cThere\u2019s some pretty good hitters over there. They hit him around with a couple home runs and things like that. It\u2019s not an easy level, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Estrada\u2019s record dropped to 7-6 on the season while his earned-run average bumped up to 3.47. Despite only going four innings in his last start in New York while earning a no-decision, the 33-year-old says his confidence is still high.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy last two outings haven\u2019t gone well but these things happen,\u201d Estrada said. \u201cJust have to keep working hard and keep making pitches. I\u2019m sure things will turn around for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Blue Jays entered the day tied with the Boston for first place in the American League East Division and stayed there after the Red Sox fell 4-3 to the Tampa Bay Rays in extra innings. The Baltimore Orioles, however, gained a game after a win in Washington and now sit one back of Toronto and Boston.<\/p>\n

Matt Shoemaker pitched six innings of shutout ball for Los Angeles, allowing just three hits while striking out two and walking one.<\/p>\n

Along with his 24th home run of the season, Trout, an MVP candidate, added a double and single. Jett Bandy had four hits and C.J. Cron drove in a pair of runs.<\/p>\n

Russell Martin drove in his 54th run of the season in the eighth with a single and Ezequiel Carrera had an RBI single in the ninth for the lone Blue Jays offence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey outplayed us,\u201d Gibbons said. \u201cEvery phase of it, it\u2019s not the first (time), it won\u2019t be the last.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pujols added his second RBI of the game in the second inning with a sacrifice fly to centre-field. The veteran slugger entered the game leading the Majors with 36 RBIs since the all-star break.<\/p>\n

The Angels continued to pile on in the fourth after back-to-back singles by Trout and Pujols. Pujols drove in his third run of the game in the eighth with a double to centre-field.<\/p>\n

Toronto cut into the lead in the ninth with Justin Smoak leading off the inning with a single and then coming around to score on Carrera\u2019s RBI single.<\/p>\n
