MONTREAL – The Alouettes scored three touchdowns in the second quarter, then held on to beat The Toronto Argonauts 37-16 in Montreal on Friday night.

Montreal’s (6-4) Matthew Shiltz threw for 212 yards and two touchdown passes, both to Eugene Lewis.

Running back William Stanback added a third Montreal TD and rushed for 203 yards, while David Cote made three field goals.
