Tigers Taken Down, 7-3, by Toronto
Toronto starter Jimmy Key pitched effectively against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Tigers Park. The left-hander led his team to a win, 7-3. In 5.1 innings, Key surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 0. He allowed 2 runs. The Blue Jays now have a record of 45-44.

Toronto used the bat of Candy Jim Taylor to get the win. The designated hitter spanked a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it altered the outcome.

"The hot tub feels extra good after a solid win," said Key.
