Dunedin regained the lead with two runs in the sixth and a run in the seventh and eight innings for insurance. Alejandro Kirk, Cullen Large and Chavez Young each drove in runs on the night for the Blue Jays. RHP Emerson Jimenez picked up his second win of the year, while righty Josh Winckowski notched a four inning save for the Blue Jays out of the bullpen.
