Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario, second baseman Ian Kinsler and first baseman Efren Navarro have turned the first Detroit triple play in 16 years.
The Tigers lead 4-2 after the bottom of the sixth.
The last time the Tigers pulled a triple play was Aug. 1, 2001 against Seattle. That was completed by Damion Easley-Deivi Cruz-Shane Halter.
The sixth inning began with Tigers right-handed starter Buck Farmer on the mound. He struck out Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista — but he reached first base when a passed ball eluded Tigers catcher James McCann.
From there, Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak singled to right field, and Kendrys Morales hit an RBI single to cut the Tigers lead to 4-2.
