TORONTO, May 2 (UPI) -- Alex Gonzalez and Fred Lewis each socked two-run homers Sunday in the Toronto Blue Jays' 9-3 rout of Oakland.

The victory was Marcum's first since Sept. 11, 2008. He missed all of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Oakland's Ben Sheets (1-3) was pounded for nine runs on eight extra-base hits in only 3 1/3 innings.
