Blue Jays break out for 7 runs to top Tigers

DETROIT -- The Toronto bats showed signs of life Wednesday as the Blue Jays totaled nine hits to avoid a three-game sweep with a 7-2 win at Comerica Park. The Tigers had outscored the Blue Jays, 14-2, in the first two games of the series, but it was a role reversal in the series finale as Detroit's five-game winning streak came to an end.

R.A. Dickey got the win with the support of six extra-base hits by the Toronto offence while he was in the game, including home runs by Justin Smoak and Josh Donaldson, who went 3-for-4 with three RBIs and finished a double shy of a cycle.
