Dunedin, Fla. — All your ROWDY friends are going yard tonight!

Blue Jays minor leaguer Rowdy Tellez, a 30th round pick in the June 2013 draft, took Phillies hurler P.J. Walters first pitch and sent it over the right field fence in Dunedin for a three run homer in the bottom of the eighth. It was the first major league pitch that Tellez had seen and ended the scoring as the Phillies fell to the Jays 10-6.
