DUNEDIN, Fla. — George Springer hit a two-run homer for the Toronto Blue Jays in a 7-5 pre-season win over the New York Yankees on Sunday.

The Jays face Detroit on Monday and cap spring training Tuesday against Baltimore.

Toronto, 8-5 in the pre-season, opens the regular season at home Friday against the Texas Rangers.

Springer’s two-out home run in the sixth inning off Yankees reliever Clarke Schmidt broke a 5-5 deadlock.
