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.
