Bottom 2nd: Tigers 0, Blue Jays 0
Mike Pelfrey loaded the bases with Blue Jays with two outs in the second inning, but as the much-maligned Tigers starter has done time after time this season, he was able to escape unscathed after getting Darwin Barney to ground out back to the mound.
Michael Saunders drew a leadoff walk from Pelfrey, Russell Martin singled to center field when Cameron Maybin had the ball squirt away from him after a diving attempt. Saunders moved up to third after Troy Tulowitzki flew out to right field. Justin Smoak struck out looking before Kevin Pillar walked to load the bases.
