Detroit, MI – On a day when Justin Verlander did not have his A-game and gave up a 2 run bomb to Edwin Encarnacion in the 4th inning which put the Blue Jays ahead 2-0, and on a day when the Tigers offense sounded anemic to say the least, it took a little help from their neighbors to the North to wake them up. J.A. Happ was dominating the Tigers and making them sound like they were not in the game. That is until the 8th inning when Toronto manager John Farrell went to the Blue Jays bullpen. Their bullpen then proceeded to get wild. Detroit’s first run came on a wild pitch when the Blue Jay’s catcher couldn’t catch up to a wild baseball. That cut the lead to 2-1, Toronto Blue Jays. The next Tiger’s batter, Brennan Boesch, proceeded to send a baseball into left field to tie the game at 2-2. Then, enter in Alex “The Cat” Avila, who hadn’t done squat until Thursday afternoon. Avila promptly preceded to defeatherize the Blue Jays with a game winning single that allowed the Tigers to climb to one and a half games behind the Chicago White Sox setting up a weekend in which the White Sox face one of the hottest teams in baseball, the Seattle Mariners. Meanwhile, the boys from Motown look to bite the Angels’ wings off beginning Friday night. After a three-game series with the Angels, the Tigers hit the road to K.C. where they look to crown the Royals before returning “the Jungle” to face the division leading Chicago White Sox for three.
