<p>TORONTO (AP) — Addison Barger hit a two-run home run, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer added hit solo shots and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the San Francisco Giants 8-6 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep and match a franchise record with their 10th consecutive home win.</p>

<p>Toronto also won 10 straight at home July 21-August 3, 1985.</p>

<p>Toronto's current streak began with a four-game series sweep of the Yankees from June 30 to July 3, overtaking New York for the AL East lead. The Blue Jays followed that with a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels.</p>

<p>The Yankees and Blue Jays open a three-game series in Toronto on Monday.</p>

<p>Since a three-game sweep of San Diego in late May, the Blue Jays have won 22 of 26 at home.</p>

<p>Guerrero reached base three times and drove in two as Toronto improved to 12-3 in July. The series sweep was their eighth of the season.</p>

<p>Toronto's José Berríos (6-4) allowed four runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings and won for the fourth time in six starts. Yariel Rodríguez finished for his second save in three chances.</p>

<p>Springer's homer was his team-leading 17th. Barger's was his 14th.</p>

<p>Guerrero erased a 1-0 deficit with a 420-foot drive off Robbie Ray in the first inning, his 13th.</p>

<p>Ray (9-4) allowed five runs and five hits in 4 1/3 innings. The left-hander matched a season-high with five walks.</p>

<p>San Francisco's Matt Chapman had two hits, including a two-run homer, his 13th.</p>

<p>Key moment</p>

<p>Barger hit a second-deck drive off Spencer Bivens in the fifth, a four-run inning that began with Springer connecting off former Toronto teammate Ray.</p>

<p>Key stat</p>

<p>The Blue Jays are 21-7 when they hit two or more homers.</p>

<p>Up next</p>

<p>Giants: RHP Hayden Birdsong (4-3, 4.11 ERA) is scheduled to start at Atlanta on Monday against Braves RHP Bryce Elder (3-6, 5.65).</p>

<p>Blue Jays: RHP Kevin Gausman (6-7, 4,19 ERA) is scheduled to start Monday against Yankees LHP Carlos Rodon (10-6, 3.08).</p>
