George Springer and Dasan Brown both scored two runs as the Toronto Blue Jays easily won 13-5 against the Philadelphia Phillies in a spring training game on Saturday.
In the spring training victory, Toronto had 11 different batters contributing to their runs, with eight runs scored in the eighth inning alone.
Key players from Philadelphia, such as Kyle Schwarber, had difficulty hitting and were consistently struck out during their at-bat appearances.
The victory comes after Joey Votto, a former National League MVP, announced on social media that he agreed to a non-roster invite with the Jays, just a day earlier.
The 40-year-old first baseman from Toronto joins the Blue Jays after a successful 17-year tenure with the Cincinnati Reds.
The next game for Toronto will be against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.
