With the game tied, Hernandez took Cleveland starter Tristan McKenzie (8-9) deep to left-centre field for his 17th homer. Toronto slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
also managed to extend his hit streak to a career-high 22 games with a first-inning double as the Blue Jays (61-51) halted its three-game slide to win for only the seven time in seven outings.
The Guardians (60-53) saw their six-game win streak end before 44,977 at Rogers Centre. Jordan Romano earned a four-out save, his 26th, to preserve another shutout performance for Toronto's bullpen.
