The Detroit Tigers faced a tough matchup on paper in this one, but once again, found a way to overcome the pitching mismatch and take a two-run lead in the middle innings. Unfortunately, the bullpen could not come through to hold it as one disastrous inning proved to be the difference in this game as the Tigers fell to the Blue Jays 5-3.
Ross Stripling, who threw six innings of one-hit ball in his last outing vs Detroit, picked up where he left off with a two-strikeout first inning. The lone good at-bat for the Tigers was Riley Greene who hit a sharp line drive groundout.
