He gave up a two-out solo shot to Scott as the Cardinals took a 2-0 lead.
Alejandro Kirk got the Jays on the board in the bottom of the third when his single scored Andres Gimenez. Toronto had the chance to add more runs in the inning but Steward Berroa flied out with two outs and the bases loaded.

After Francis pitched a three-up, three-down fourth, the Jays tied the score in the bottom of the inning when a Gimenez single scored Davis Schneider. Gimenez, who was replaced by Michael Stefanic as Toronto made several substitutions in the sixth inning, is batting .500 (3-for-6) so far this spring.
Stefanic’s two-out single in the sixth scored Alan Roden and gave Toronto its first lead of the game at 3-2. Stefanic was a part of the final play of the game to seal the win, tagging Bryan Torres as he tried to steal second base on a throw from catcher Tyler Heineman.
Berroa entered the game in the first inning in relief of centre-fielder Joey Loperfido, who was injured when he crashed into the wall trying to field Scott’s triple.
Toronto (3-0) hosts Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon.
