DUNEDIN, FL - Rehabbing Daulton Varsho went deep, while Tucker Toman's two-homer game and Johnny King's nine-strikeout performance powered the Dunedin Blue Jays to a 7-1 win over the Tampa Tarpons on Sunday afternoon at TD Ballpark in game three of a six-game series.
The Blue Jays have homered multiple times in three straight games, launching nine total over the first three games of the series against Tampa, where they've outscored the Tarpons 23-8.

He induced 13 whiffs on 28 swings (46% whiff rate) and topped out at 95.5 MPH. His curveball induced six whiffs on seven swings. The Blue Jays No. 11 prospect has fanned 26 in 13 innings for Dunedin this season (18 K/9). Over his last two outings, King has fanned 16 in eight innings of one-run ball.
CF Daulton Varsho (1-for-3, HR, 4 RBI, R) launched a go-ahead three-run homer in the 5th inning in his second game for Dunedin on MLB Rehab Assignment. Varsho's three-run blast left the bat at 101.1 MPH. He also brought home the first run of the ballgame on an RBI groundout in the 3rd
3B Tucker Toman (2-for-3, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 2 R, BB) blasted a solo homer in the 5th, and a two-run homer in the 7th for his first professional multi-homer game. His homers left the bat at 103.9 MPH and 100.4 MPH. Toman's 41 RBI this season lead the team and are 7th most in the Blue Jays farm system.
