DETROIT - The way Aaron Sanchez was pitching Tuesday night, it was almost as if he didn’t need the run support.
If only baseball and life as a starting pitcher were that easy.
Not only was Sanchez enjoying the best starting effort of his career, the right-hander carried a one-hitter into the ninth inning and was making it look easy. With a curveball that danced and an efficient use of pitches, Sanchez had struck out 12, three more than any Jays starter this season.
And what a waste it was in a 3-2, extra innings loss to the Tigers here at Comerica Park.
