The 18- year- old Canadian, who played his first ATP Tour match on grass, broke serve once in each set for a 7-5, 6-3 victory over his Latvian rival.
He needed 86 minutes to register his 21st win of the season. The Canadian youngster will next play Frenchman Gilles Simon for a place in the third round.
Meanwhile, Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff reached the second round of the Stuttgart Open, after a straight sets victory over Denis Shapovalov.

It was Struff's third win over Shapovalov since April, and he will meet Serbia's Miomir Kecmanovic in the next round.
