SAN FRANCISCO — Heliot Ramos lamented last week how he had come mere inches from the first multi-homer game of his career. This time around, the ballpark couldn’t hold him down.

Ramos powered the Giants to a 10-1 blowout win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night, enjoying the first two-homer game of his career to go along with a leadoff Little League home run.

Since returning from a quad injury on June 28, Ramos has hit four home runs over his last seven games with eight RBIs.

Not to be overshadowed by Ramos was right-hander Landen Roupp, who allowed just one run over a career-high eight innings. The Giants had lost Roupp’s last 11 starts entering play, and during that stretch, the right-hander posted a 5.87 ERA over 53 2/3 innings.

Ramos, with the help of the Blue Jays’ defense, manufactured the first run of the game with a leadoff Little League home run, legging out a three-bagger to Triples Alley, then scoring when shortstop Andrés Giménez threw the ball into the Giants’ dugout.

After scoring a run in the fourth when Willy Adames grounded into a double play with a runner on third, San Francisco called upon a double steal with runners at the corners to swipe its third run.

With two outs in the fifth, Luis Arraez took off for second and drew a throw from Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk. Once Kirk fired a high throw, Victor Bericoto, the runner on third, dashed home to steal a run.

If the Giants used speed in the fifth, they used power in the sixth. San Francisco established a commanding lead by putting up a five-spot in the sixth, the big swing of the inning being an opposite-field, three-run homer by Ramos.

Not content with just one homer, Ramos launched a no-doubt, two-run shot in the bottom of the eighth to put the game on ice, a 434-foot blast that landed more than halfway up the left-field bleachers.
