Daulton Varsho has never hit the ball harder in his return from shoulder surgery

  • Daulton Varsho hit two home runs during Tuesday's game in Toronto, including a three-run homer in the eighth inning that briefly put the Blue Jays ahead, but Toronto ultimately fell 11-9 to the Tampa Bay Rays.
  • Varsho returned after missing the first 28 games recovering from shoulder surgery last September and has improved his power this season by making a slight change to his swing that emphasizes a faster, more compact approach to the ball.
  • Varsho's two home runs were the hardest hits of his career, with exit velocities of 113.9 and 113.6 m.p.h, and his three-run homer briefly gave Toronto a 7-6 lead in the eighth inning.
  • Despite Varsho's performance, Tampa Bay scored five runs in the ninth inning off closer Jeff Hoffman, who surrendered a grand slam to Junior Caminero, causing Hoffman's ERA to rise to 6.05 and his record to fall to 3-2.
  • Varsho explained that his increased power this season comes from focusing on making compact and efficient swings, while Blue Jays manager John Schneider commended Varsho’s development and confidence as he embraces his strengths on the field.
