DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) Russell Martin hit a long home run, AL MVP Josh Donaldson drove in a run and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Baltimore Orioles 4-3 Friday.

Martin connected off prospect Andrew Triggs in the fourth inning with an opposite-field drive that landed far beyond the right-center field fence.

Two pitchers later, Justin Smoak made it back-to-back homers with his second in as many days, a drive to almost the same spot. Dalton Pompey, competing for a starting outfield spot, followed two batters later with a drive to right that chased the 26-year-old Triggs

Donaldson had an RBI single in the third that scored Ryan Goins.

Baltimore's Mark Trumbo homered off Brad Penny in the fourth. Jonathan Schoop added an RBI single in the fifth.

Making his first spring-training start, Toronto's J.A. Happ allowed two hits in two scoreless innings.
