Blue Jays Handed 5-3 Defeat
The Detroit Tigers topped the Toronto Blue Jays, 5-3, in American League action at Rogers Centre. The standout performance belonged to Detroit pitcher and The United States, native Justin Verlander. In 7.2 innings, Verlander surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 4. He allowed 3 runs. Picking up the save was Willie Hernandez. He's now 30 for 34 in save chances.

It could have been a different outcome for Detroit, had it not been for Charlie Gehringer, the 33-year old second baseman . Gehringer contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the seventh inning to put Detroit up, 4-3.

Said Toronto manager : "They just got the better of us."

The Tigers now have a mark of 57-60.
