Top 5th: Blue Jays 2, Tigers 0
Steve Pearce broke open a scoreless game with a monstrous solo home run to left field to put Toronto up 1-0 on the Tigers in the fifth inning. The dinger was the seventh of the season for Pearce.
Kevin Pillar followed with what appeared to be a routine fly out to right field, but J.D. Martinez dropped the ball, allowing Pillar to end up at second base. Darwin Barney grounded out to shortstop, moving Pillar up to third. Barney scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Jose Bautista, giving the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead.
