Martin homers as Blue Jays beat Orioles 4-3

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- 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 pitches 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 homer to right that chased the 26-year-old Triggs.
