The Detroit Tigers went into Toronto to face a fourth place Blue Jays team, hoping to end a nine-game losing streak. Francisco Liriano took the mound for Detroit and held Toronto off the board for three innings, but it wasn’t enough. The Tigers were shut down by Jays starter Marcus Stroman for their 10th straight defeat, which is their longest losing streak since 2003, when they lost 11 straight games.
The Tigers opened the scoring in the top of the third inning on a leadoff single by JaCoby Jones and another by Jose Iglesias, which sent Jones to third.
