MONTREAL — Quarterback Cody Fajardo completed an early touchdown pass and the defending Grey Cup champion Montreal Alouettes defeated the Toronto Argonauts 30-13 in CFL pre-season action Saturday night.
Fajardo connected with Canadian receiver Kaion Julien-Grant on a 48-yard throw to open the scoring. He finished with 107 passing yards on 7-for-8 completions in less than a quarter of action for Montreal, which dressed most of its starters in front of 13,787 fans at Molson Stadium.
The second-year Dukes is expected to fill in for star QB Chad Kelly. The reigning most outstanding player is suspended a minimum of nine regular-season games for violating the league’s gender-based violence policy. Canadian running back Walter Fletcher ran 14 yards on three carries in the starting role with last year’s No. 1 option William Stanback gone to the B.C. Lions. Ohio State alum Mike Weber Jr. rushed for 22 yards.
Montreal kicker David Cote completed both his field-goal attempts, including a 50-yarder, and backup Jose Maltos was 1-for-1. Alfredo Gachuz Lozada went 2-for-2 for the Argos. Lyon intercepted Dukes late in the quarter for a 33-yard return, leading to Cote’s second field goal to give the Alouettes a 13-7 lead.
