Blue Jays 10, Tigers 5: Promising start turns sour for Justin Verlander

DETROIT -- After getting silenced by Detroit Tigers starters for two games, the vaunted Toronto Blue Jays offense broke through on Sunday. They scored six runs off Justin Verlander in the top of the fifth inning and coasted to a 10-5 win over the Tigers at Comerica Park.

Verlander was Vintage after two hits and an error in the first. That was, until the fifth inning when he collapsed. The Blue Jays bat around Verlander, putting up a six-spot that included two home runs -- both no-doubters. Verlander needed help defensively, and never got it, Jose Iglesias having a rare off-day all around in that department.
