JUPITER — George Springer hit a leadoff home run as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Miami Marlins 5-4 on Monday in a six-inning Grapefruit League game at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium.

Springer also scored on a wild pitch in the third inning before Daulton Varsho hit a two-run double. Myles Straw added an RBI groundout that capped a four-run inning.

Otto Lopez and Daniel Johnson homered for Miami, with Johnson’s solo shot in the fifth pulling the Marlins within a run.

Blue Jays reliever Jesse Hahn earned the save after right-fielder RJ Schreck threw out Chris Arroyo at the plate in the bottom of the sixth.
