Fajardo throws 2 TDs as Alouettes defeat Tiger-Cats in East semifinal

Quarterback Cody Fajardo threw two touchdown passes and Montreal's defence stood tall as the Alouettes defeated the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 27-12 in the CFL East Division semifinal on Saturday in Montreal.

The Alouettes move on to play the defending Grey Cup champion Argonauts in Toronto in next Saturday's East final.

It was the third consecutive year that Hamilton and Montreal faced off at this stage of the playoffs. Montreal also won in front of a home crowd at Molson Stadium last season.
