Tigers Win Fifth in a Row with Wild 6-5 Win over Blue Jays
Detroit overcame a 5-4 deficit with two late runs and improved to 5 straight wins, while Toronto stayed one game back in the wild-card race.
- On Monday, the Detroit Tigers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5, extending their winning streak to five games. Zach McKinstry scored the winning run in the ninth inning following a fielding error by Toronto pitcher Louis Varland.
- Despite Kazuma Okamoto's record-setting 33rd home run in the seventh, the Blue Jays could not hold the lead. Earlier, Toronto pitcher Jose Soriano maintained a perfect game through five innings before Detroit's offense rallied.
- Brett Callahan tied the game 5-5 with an eighth-inning RBI single, setting the stage for the ninth. McKinstry then scored on a missed catch by Varland following a grounder from infielder Hao-Yu Lee to first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
- The Blue Jays remain one game behind the Cleveland Guardians for the final wild-card berth after Cleveland lost to the Chicago White Sox. Detroit sits 4½ games out of a playoff spot with 12 games remaining.
- Right-Hander Drew Anderson will start for the Tigers on Tuesday as the three-game series continues at the Rogers Centre. Toronto's starter for the scheduled bullpen game is yet to be announced.
