Jo-Jo Reyes ended a three-year wait between wins in impressive fashion.

Reyes won for the first time in 29 starts by throwing his first career complete game and Jayson Nix hit a two-run home run to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to an 11-1 rout of the Cleveland Indians on Monday night.

“It was just an awesome game,” a smiling Reyes said. “I guess this was the way to do it if I had to choose.”

Reyes (1-4) allowed one run and eight hits, earning a win for the first time in almost three years. His previous victory came with Atlanta against the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 13, 2008. The left-hander went 0-13 with a 6.59 ERA in his 28 starts between wins.

Rajai Davis went 3 for 4 with two RBIs and scored three runs as Toronto won its fourth straight, but the end of Reyes’ streak was the talk of the clubhouse.

“To do it in this fashion is superb,” Davis said. “It’s awesome.”

The crowd of 12,902 stood and cheered “Jo-Jo, Jo-Jo” as Cleveland’sJack Hannahan batted with two outs in the ninth. Catcher J.P. Arencibiaembraced Reyes after Hannahan struck out, and the rest of Toronto’s pitchers streamed to the mound in celebration. One fan held up a sign reading “I believe in Jo-Jo.”

“The whole pitching staff is happy for him,” fellow left-hander Ricky Romero said. “I was one of the first guys (to reach the mound). He was kind of serious when I first went out there. I was like ‘Hey man, you can smile now, it’s over.’ I gave him a big hug.”

Reyes avoided becoming the first pitcher to go winless in 29 starts. Oakland’s Matt Keough went 28 starts between wins in 1978 and 1979, matching the dubious mark first set by Boston’s Cliff Curtis in 1910 and 1911.

“This night belongs to Jo-Jo,” Blue Jays manager John Farrell said. “Just an outstanding game on his part.”
