The Detroit Tigers kept their spot at the top of the MLB, winning yet another series by taking down the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2 on Sunday afternoon.
While the sparks didn’t fly in this three-game series on MLB’s rivalry weekend, each game proved to be nail-biting in its own way as all three contests across the border were decided by one run.
BOX SCORE: Tigers 3, Blue Jays 2
Spencer Torkelson’s two-out RBI single in the top of the seventh was the difference, as the sharp single off relief pitcher Braydon Fisher dropped in front of Dalton Varsho to bring Gleyber Torres home.
Torkelson’s first hit went off the center field wall, bringing home Kerry Carpenter and Zach McKinstry for a two-out RBI double, as Detroit (31-16) took an early 2-0 lead in the top of the first. Torkelson ended 2-for-4 and drove in all three runs for the Tigers, with both hits coming on two-out situations.
Three Tigers had multi-hit days, as Riley Greene went 2-for-5 from the designated hitter position. Meanwhile catcher Dillon Dingler got three hits in four at-bats, including a double. Dingler finished 4-for-7 in his two games played in this series.
Jackson Jobe earned his fourth win of the season, as the Tigers have won every game (8-0) when the young pitcher starts on the mound.
The bottom of the first belonged to Akil Baddoo, who not only jumped at the wall to rob Daulton Varsho’s deep fly, but then dove to get Alejandro Kirk out while getting Bo Bichette out at second for the double play. Two highlight plays from Baddoo created all three outs for the Tigers in that inning.
It was also a matchup between brothers-in-law José BerrÃos and Javier Báez, but it was Blue Jays starter BerrÃos winning this battle as Báez went 0-for-3 with a strikeout against BerrÃos and 0-for-4 in the game.
Jobe cruised through the first three innings by only allowing two hits on just 31 pitches, but the Blue Jays seemed to figure him out after that. After Jobe walked Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to begin the bottom of the fourth, the Toronto bats woke up and a couple of groundball singles from Kirk and Ernie Clement tied the game at 2-2.
Things got tight for Jobe and the Tigers in the next inning, as a Jonatan Clase single and Bo Bichette walk put two Blue Jays on the bases with no outs. Jobe bounced back with three straight outs, ending with a McKinstry jumping throw from third to first that kept the game tied.
Both Jobe and BerrÃos gave up two earned runs in six innings of work, as the 22-year old Jobe gave up six hits and two walks with five strikeouts. BerrÃos gave up eight hits with just one walk, with the Blue Jays pitchers giving up 11 hits overall against Detroit.
However, after that scare in the bottom of the fifth, the Tigers pitching only gave up two hits between Jobe and the rest of the bullpen, with Will Vest earning the save after getting Guerrero Jr. to groundout for the final out.
