<p>DUNEDIN, Fla. — Teoscar Hernández hit a three-run homer after missing three weeks following a positive test for the coronavirus, Robbie Ray took a one-hitter into the seventh inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Atlanta Braves 13-5 on Friday night.</p>
<p>Hernández went 2 for 5, including a sixth-inning shot to center off Jacob Webb that put Toronto ahead 10-0.</p>
<p>Ray (1-1) allowed two runs, five hits and struck out five over 6 2/3 innings. The left-hander allowed just one runner through six innings, on Travis d’Arnaud’s double with one out in the second, then gave up Ozzie Albies’ two-run homer in the seventh.</p>
<p>Alejandro Kirk had his first multihomer game for the Blue Jays.</p>
<p>Bo Bichette, Kirk and Randal Grichuk all connected off Drew Smyly (0-2), who allowed six runs and seven hits in four-plus innings. Kirk also went deep against Edgar Santana.</p>
<p>Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit Toronto’s sixth homer, a solo shot in the eighth.</p>
<p>Bichette hit a two-run homer in the third. Kirk had a fourth-inning two-run drive and Grichuk’s solo shot in the fifth made it 5-0. </p>
<p>Kirk drove in two on his second home run in the fifth.</p>
<p>Atlanta’s Marcell Ozuna had been 0 for 20 against lefties this season before doubling off Ray in the seventh. He had a two-run single during a three-run eighth.</p>
<p>George Springer, who signed a team-record $150 million, six-year deal this offseason, singled in the first for his first Blue Jays hit and went 1 for 3, walked twice and stole a base. After missing time because of oblique and right quadriceps strains, he was hitless in four at-bats during his first game Wednesday against Washington.</p>
<p>SUN SPOT</p>
<p>The Blue Jays moved back the starting time of night games at TD Ballpark a half-hour to 7:37 EDT due in part to the sun, which was located just above first-base side roof at the single-deck stadium early on in recent games. Blue Jays 3B Joe Panik lost a high-hop single by Washington’s Ryan Zimmerman in the first inning Wednesday night in the sun.</p>
<p>CENTER FIELD</p>
<p>Braves: Ronald Acuña Jr. was in center so Guillermo Heredia, who started the previous 11 games, could be rested. Manager Brian Snitker said Acuña could get limited time at the position.</p>
<p>Blue Jays: Springer was the DH for the second straight game but might get a start in center soon.</p>
<p>TRAINER’S ROOM</p>
<p>Braves: Snitker said LHP Max Fried (right hamstring) was feeling great one day after throwing to hitters. Fried could rejoin the rotation next week. … LHP Sean Newcomb (undisclosed) returned from the 10-day IL and gave up two runs, two hits and two walks in two-thirds on an inning.</p>
<p>Blue Jays: LHP Hyun Jin Ryu (strained right glute) could return next week after missing one start.</p>
<p>UP NEXT</p>
<p>Braves RHP Charlie Morton (2-1) faces a Toronto bullpen day Saturday night.</p>
