Cal Stevenson added a run to the Blue Jays total with an RBI single in the seventh.
That was all the pitching staff for Dunedin needed. RHP T.J. Zeuch made the rehab start for the D-Jays and tossed four innings, striking out seven. Righty Graham Spraker picked up the victory and worked out of a two jams by inducing double plays in the fifth and sixth innings.
