Plenty of key two outs hits and another dominant performance from all six relievers deployed out of the Tigers’ bullpen carried them over the Blue Jays 4-2 on Friday night in Toronto.
With right-hander Bryan Garcia, who has yet to stick in the bigs even in relief, getting called up for the start, this matchup with fiery right-hander Alek Manoah looked like a disaster in the making on paper. It did not turn out that way at all, because baseball.
The Tigers had some good swings against the Blue Jays’ All-Star in the first inning, but fortune was not on their side.
