TORONTO – Eric Hinske homered and drove in a career-high five runs, and Vernon Wells homered and tied a career high with four hits to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to a 15-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Hinske went 3-for-4 with a walk, raising his average to .238. He hit a three-run homer off Andrew Good (0-1) in the third and his two-run single in the fourth gave Toronto an 8-0 lead.

Wells went 4-for-6, including a three-run homer off Scott Service in the seventh.

The 15 runs tied a season high for the Blue Jays, who have been waiting for the offense to produce more. Toronto has hit the second fewest homers in the AL (48).

AL Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay (6-4) returned from the disabled list and allowed two runs on three hits, while striking out five and walking one in 5 2-3 innings. Halladay, who missed two starts with a sore shoulder, was kept on a pitch count by Toronto manager Carlos Tosca. Halladay threw 82 pitches, 56 for strikes.

Luis Gonzalez and Shea Hillenbrand hit back-to-back homers for the Diamondbacks.

The Blue Jays sent 10 men to the plate in the fourth and scored five runs on Frank Menechino’s home run, Reed Johnson’s sacrifice fly, Hinske’s two-run single and Chris Woodward’s RBI double.

Good allowed seven runs – six earned – on eight hits in just 3 2-3 innings. He apologized to manager Bob Brenly when Brenly took him out.

Halladay didn’t allow a hit until Gonzalez singled with two outs in the fourth. Scott Hairston and Danny Bautista chased him with singles in the sixth before reliever Jason Kershner gave up the homers to Gonzalez and Hillenbrand, cutting Toronto’s lead to 9-4.

Wells’ homer made it 13-4.

Arizona reliever Stephen Randolph walked four straight batters in the eighth. The Blue Jays scored twice on Johnson’s walk and on Howie Clark’s sacrifice fly.

Vinnie Chulk pitched three innings for his second save.

Notes: Halladay hadn’t pitched since May 27 versus Anaheim. … Toronto rookie Alex Rios ended an 0-for-14 slump with a triple in the fourth. … The Diamondbacks have a major league-leading 11 players on the disabled list, forcing them to field a roster with 17 players that have less than three years of big league experience. … Randolph walked five in the eighth. He got two outs.
