Heliot Ramos smacked two home runs, Landen Roupp completed eight innings for the first time in his big league career and the San Francisco Giants opened a three-game interleague series with a 10-1 romp over the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night.

Victor Bericoto stole home as part of a two-hit, two-run, two-RBI performance for the Giants, who were opening a seven-game homestand.

Ramos led off the game against former Giant Kevin Gausman with a shot to the fence in center field, on which Toronto shortstop Andres Gimenez's relay throw to third base got away, allowing Ramos to race home. He was credited with a triple.

The Giants tacked on single runs in the fourth on a double play grounder and in the fifth when Bericoto took home as part of a double steal with Luis Arraez, who drew a throw to second base.

Kazuma Okamoto got Toronto within 3-1 in the sixth with his 20th home run of the season, but that's all the scoring the Blue Jays did against Roupp and reliever Spencer Bivens.

Okamoto became the second rookie to reach 20 homers this season, following Munetaka Murakami. He became the first Blue Jays rookie to accomplish the feat since Rowdy Tellez in 2019.

Roupp (8-6) limited the defending American League champions to three hits while walking two and striking out five.

The Giants blew the game open with a five-run sixth against Gausman and reliever Tommy Nance. Bericoto hit Gausman's last pitch for a two-run single, before Ramos, the second batter Nance faced, launched a three-run homer to increase the margin to 8-1.

Ramos put a bow on the first two-homer game of his career with a two-run shot in the eighth to complete the scoring. The homers were his seventh and eighth of the season as he finished 3-for-5 with three runs and five RBIs.

Rafael Devers walked twice and scored each time for the Giants, who improved to 8-11 in interleague play.

Gausman (4-8) was charged with seven runs (four earned) on five hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked five and struck out eight.
