TORONTO — For the second game in a row, the Detroit Tigers failed to attack the left-handers on the mound.
On Friday, the Tigers pulled off an improbable extra-inning victory over the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre after lefty Robbie Ray frustrated them with eight innings of one-run ball. He allowed five hits — without a walk — and struck out 11 batters.
It was more of the same Saturday, as the Tigers (59-66) were carved up by lefty Hyun Jin Ryu in a 3-0 loss. The 34-year-old Ryu flashed a reminder of why he finished top three in the NL and AL Cy Young races in the 2019 and 2020 seasons, respectively.
