Daulton Varsho hits grand slam in 10th to lift Blue Jays past Rays, 5-3
TORONTO (AP) --- Daulton Varsho hit a grand slam with one out in the 10th
inning to give the Toronto Blue Jays a 5-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on
Wednesday night.
Varsho sent a 2-2 pitch from Aaron Brooks (0-1) into the Toronto bullpen in
left to end the Blue Jays' three-game losing streak. Varsho has six career
gland slams and has a .321 career average (18 for 56) with the bases loaded.
After Ben Williamson and Yandy Daz singled in runs for Tampa Bay in the top of
the 10th against Jeff Hoffman (2-2), Toronto loaded the bases for Varsho when
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Kazuma Okamoto walked with one out. The Rays matched
their season high by walking 10.
Okamoto tied it at 1 for Toronto in the eighth with a sacrifice fly. Richie
Palacios had an RBI single for Tampa Bay in the seventh.
Toronto starter Dylan Cease struck out nine over seven innings, allowing a run
on three hits and three walks. The Rays' Griffin Jax allowed four hits and four
walks over five scoreless innings.
