There were other concerns, perhaps, within Sunday’s Tigers galaxy.
A hurricane in the South. A certain NFL game at Ford Field.
The Tigers proved to be of little distraction in their game at Rogers Centre, as they were bounced by the Blue Jays, 8-2.
Anibal Sanchez was lashed for 12 hits and seven runs in 42/3 innings, and that was all the help Toronto required on a day when Detroit’s only two runs came on Ian Kinsler’s fifth-inning homer into the bullpen in left against Jays starter J.A. Happ.
The Tigers got seven hits, two of which — a double and a single — came from Nick Castellanos, who again started in right field for the Tigers and who again handled matters without drama or missteps.
