Former Toronto reliever Brandon League (4-3) pitched two-thirds of an inning to pick up the win. Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his 12th save despite allowing a run.
Down 10-8 in the ninth, the Blue Jays made a push when J.P. Arencibia singled home Adam Lind, but Lawrie ended the game with a fly to the warning track in left.
Blue Jays starter Todd Redmond held the Dodgers to three runs and seven hits over 5 2-3 innings, while Dodgers counterpart Chris Capuano allowed five runs on seven hits in 4 1-3 innings.
The Blue Jays took a 2-0 lead in the third inning on a single by Lawrie, a double by Reyes and a single by Bautista.
The Dodgers tied the game 2-2 in the fourth on infield hits to third by Yasiel Puig and Hanley Ramirez, a double by Ethier that scored one run and a single by Ellis that plated another.
The Blue Jays regained their two-run edge in the bottom of the inning on DeRosa's fifth homer of the season with one out, a double by Rajai Davis, an infield single by Arencibia and a sacrifice fly by Lawrie.
Bautista hit his 23rd homer of the season with one out in the fifth to put the Blue Jays up 5-2 and chase Capuano in favour of Carlos Marmol.
Hairston hit his second homer of the season with two out in the sixth to cut the lead to 5-3 and Brett Cecil came out of the Toronto bullpen to replace Redmond after Tim Federowicz doubled.
The Blue Jays added three runs in the sixth against Marmol -- two on Reyes' fifth homer of the season after Arencibia led off the inning with a double and scored on Lawrie's single.
Down by five, the Dodgers didn't quit. They scored three in the seventh to cut the lead to 8-6 on singles by Puig, Gonzalez and walks to Ramirez and Ethier that forced in a run. After Dustin McGowan replaced Cecil, Ellis greeted him with a two-run single and Hairston was hit by a pitch to load the bases again.
McGowan struck out Federowicz and then got the force at home on a close play to end the inning after he was hit by a line shot by Nick Punto and retrieved the ball.
