BRADENTON, Fla. — Pitcher Wandy Rodriguez contributed a two-run homer and RBI single as the Pittsburgh Pirates got 29 hits Tuesday and routed the Toronto Blue Jays 22-5.

Starling Marte and Jose Tabata each homered and drove in four runs. Marte got five hits and Tabata had four. The Pirates finished with nine extra-base hits.

In his first at-bat of the spring, Rodriguez hit a full-count fastball from J.A. Happ into the Pirates’ bullpen in right field.

“It’s a 3-2 count and I knew the fastball was coming,” Rodriguez said with a laugh. “I made good contact and the wind helped me, too. I don’t have a lot of power.”

Rodriguez added his single in an eight-run fourth inning.

Rodriguez made his final start of spring training, working 4 2-3 innings and allowing three runs on six hits and four walks.

Matt Tuiasosopo hit a solo home run for Toronto.

Happ did not help his bid to claim a job in Toronto’s rotation. He faced 20 batters in three-plus innings and allowed seven runs and 12 hits.

“I was throwing a lot of strikes on a tough-conditions day,” Happ said. “They were putting the ball in play. I feel good about throwing the ball in the zone, but this is one start that I’ve just got to try to get over.”

As the No. 3 starter in the rotation, Rodriguez is scheduled to make his season debut April 4 against the St. Louis Cardinals at PNC Park. Last year, he made only 12 starts due to chronic forearm pain and went 6-4 with a 3.59 ERA.

“I feel very happy because when I started spring training, I was thinking a lot about my arm,” Rodriguez said. “Every time I throw, I feel good.”

Left-hander Francisco Liriano (groin) will throw off a mound Wednesday in a simulated game. If the injury has not improved and he must start the season on the disabled list, right-hander Brandon Cumpton is a possible replacement. Cumpton replaced Edinson Volquez as the scheduled starter Wednesday against Minnesota. Volquez instead will throw two or three innings in a simulated game.
