Dunedin Blue Jays starter Ignacio Benítez pitched well against the Palm Beach Cardinals at Roger Dean Stadium, leading his team to a win, 4-1. The Blue Jays improved their record to 72-57 with the win over Palm Beach.

The Blue Jays got a big at-bat from center fielder Pepe Ortega. For the game, Ortega was 1 for 4 with a triple, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the top of the third, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 2-run triple. His 4th triple of the season gave Dunedin a 2-0 lead.
