Instant Reaction: George Springer's lead-off home run lifts Blue Jays over Marlins
"It took the Blue Jays just two pitches to take the lead, as George Springer hit his first home run of Spring Training on an inside fastball. The homer came off the bat at 105.2 mph and went a distance of 433 feet."
"The Blue Jays took over the game in the top of the third. Springer led it off with a single, followed by a Nathan Lukes single to put runners on the corners. Springer scored thanks to a wild pitch, and after Davis Schneider walked, Daulton Varsho drove him and Lukes in with his fifth double of the spring."
"To the surprise of no one, Daulton Varsho had another strong game. He was 1-1 with a double, his fifth of the spring, as well as a walk. When you add four home runs to the mix, that gives Varsho an incredible 1.421 OPS over 40 plate appearances this season with just one strikeout."
The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Miami Marlins 5-4 in a Spring Training game shortened to six innings by rain. George Springer opened the scoring with a 433-foot home run on the second pitch. The Marlins tied the game when Otto López homered, but the Blue Jays took control in the third inning with a four-run outburst featuring singles, a wild pitch, and a double by Daulton Varsho that drove in two runs. The Marlins scored in the third and fifth innings, with Johnson hitting a home run to cut the lead to one, but Toronto held on for the victory. Varsho continued his strong spring performance with a double and walk.
