Second baseman Adam Kennedy picked up the ball and threw to catcher Bengie Molina, who got Gomez in a rundown between third and home. Molina chased Gomez up the line before throwing to Alfredo Amezaga, who didn't have anybody to throw to at the plate.
Gomez slid across with the winning run, and Pond was credited with an RBI single.
Jason Frasor (2-1) pitched two scoreless innings for the win, helping the Blue Jays end a four-game skid.
Vladimir Guerrero, Jose Guillen and Jeff DaVanon hit consecutive homers in the third for the Angels, who still have the best record in the majors (29-16).
Anaheim starter John Lackey and manager Mike Scioscia were ejected in the sixth inning after Lackey brushed back Pond, then threw a pitch that grazed his jersey.
Both benches had already been warned, so plate umpire Jim Reynolds immediately ejected Lackey. Scioscia then got into a heated argument with Reynolds.
Toronto starter Justin Miller tied a club record by hitting three batters, including Guillen in the top of the sixth.
Juan Pierre drove in four runs, Ramon Castro broke out of a season-long slump with three RBIs and the Florida Marlins beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 13-5.
"I'm usually on the other end," said Pierre, who came in with 11 RBIs on the season. "It's nice. It feels good to drive some in.''
The victory was Jack McKeon's 100th as Marlins manager and it pulled Florida into a tie with Philadelphia atop the NL East.
Jeff Conine homered and Carl Pavano (4-2) pitched seven solid innings for the Marlins, who took three of four from Arizona.
"It's always nice to get some runs, but it goes hand-in-hand," Pavano said. "With the plays they made behind me in the other games, I can't complain."
Steve Finley hit his major league-leading 14th homer for the Diamondbacks. Brandon Webb (2-4) allowed seven runs and five walks in 5 1-3 innings.
