CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians answered a six-run Toronto fourth inning with a six-run fifth inning on their way to a 10-7 victory over the Blue Jays on Sunday at Progressive Field.

Second baseman Jason Kipnis had four hits, including a home run, and the Indians' bullpen picked up struggling starter Trevor Bauer as the Indians managed to split their four-game series with Toronto.

Five Cleveland relievers combined to pitch 4 2/3 innings allowing one run on three hits, with seven strikeouts. Left-hander Marc Rzepczynski (1-0) got the win

Bauer dominated the Toronto hitters in the first two innings, retiring all six batters he faced on a total of 16 pitches. But the right-hander allowed 14 of the last 18 batters he faced to reach base, most of those coming in a six-run fourth inning.

The big blow in that inning was a grand slam home run by rookie second Devon Travis that gave the Blue Jays a 6-1 lead. Bauer survived that inning, but after giving up singles to two of the first three batters he faced in the fifth he was removed from the game. In 4 1/3 innings he gave up six runs on seven hits and three walks.

Cleveland scored its first run on a home run by second baseman Jason Kipnis off right-hander Drew Hutchison in the third inning. A sacrifice fly by right fielder Brandon Moss in the fourth cut the Toronto lead to 6-2.

The Indians' began their comeback in earnest in the fifth inning when they sent 11 men to the plate and scored six runs, knocking Hutchison out of the game. Third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall led off with a double and center fielder Michael Bourn drew a one-out walk.

Kipnis singled home Chisenhall to make it 6-3. Shortstop Jose Ramirez doubled, scoring Bourn, and the Toronto lead was down to 6-4. Left-hander Jeff Francis (1-1) relieved Hutchison, and left fielder Michael Brantley greeted Francis with a single to center, scoring Kipnis and Ramirez to tie the game at 6-6.

First baseman Carlos Santana walked, and Moss flied out for the second out. But pinch hitter Ryan Raburn pulled a double down the left field line to score Brantley and Santana, giving the Indians an 8-6 lead.

Cleveland scored two more runs in the sixth inning, a rally that began with a one out single by Kipnis. Ramirez also singled, and a balk by right-hander Miguel Castro moved the runners to second and third.

Brantley was intentionally walked, loading the bases, but Santana, the American League leader in walks, drew the second of his three walks in the game, forcing in Kipnis with the run that extended Cleveland's lead to 9-6. Moss followed with a sacrifice fly, stretching the Indians lead to 10-6.

Toronto's last run came on a solo home run by catcher Russell Martin in the ninth inning.
