Blue Jays 3, Phillies 0: Jose Reyes homered while Juan Francisco and Josh Thole drove in a run apiece as Toronto downed host Philadelphia in the opener of their four-game, home-and-home series.

J.A. Happ (1-0) tossed five scoreless innings in his first start of the season, allowing three hits and four walks to improve to 3-0 with a 1.56 ERA in three all-time outings against the team with which he began his career in 2007. Melky Cabrera and Colby Rasmus each had two hits and scored a run while three relievers bridged the gap from Happ to Brett Cecil, who worked around a fielding error by first baseman Edwin Encarnacion in the ninth inning for his second save.

Marlon Byrd and Ben Revere combined for four of their team's seven hits as Philadelphia was held to three runs or fewer for the fifth time in its last six games. Kyle Kendrick (0-3) fell to 0-4 lifetime versus Toronto and saw his winless streak extended to 13 starts after giving up three runs on seven hits and three walks over a season high-tying seven frames.

Reyes, who entered Monday 13-for-33 with two home runs against Kendrick, continued his domination of the right-hander three pitches into the game as he belted a sinker deep into the right-field seats for his 19th career leadoff homer. Cabrera followed with a single and Francisco plated him three batters later as he dumped a lazy fly ball inches off the line in shallow left.

Rasmus drew a four-pitch walk to open the second and Thole knocked him in with a double into the gap in left-center. Happ left the bases loaded in the bottom half and stranded three over the next two frames while Jose Bautista threw out Byrd at the plate after he led off the sixth with a triple to keep the Phillies off the board.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Toronto 3B Brett Lawrie, who has been playing at second base in order to get Francisco into the lineup during interleague play, left the game in the bottom of the fourth inning due to a right hamstring injury and was replaced by Chris Getz. … Byrd is 15-for-35 over his last nine contests. … Bautista finished 0-for-3 but was hit by a pitch in the seventh to extend his streak of reaching base to 32 games – the longest such run to begin a season since Cincinnati's Joey Votto accomplished the feat over 33 games in 2011.
