DETROIT -- Aaron Sanchez has not enjoyed the type of season he expected, but with the Blue Jays reeling through a three-city road trip, he rose to the occasion. The end result snapped Toronto's five-game losing streak.
The Blue Jays won for just the fifth time in their last 20 games on Sunday afternoon, and Sanchez was the primary reason why. He allowed one run over six strong innings as Toronto avoided the three-game sweep with an 8-4 victory over the Tigers at Comerica Park.
Toronto's lineup was held scoreless for the first five innings, but Sanchez bought the Blue Jays enough time to come to life with two runs in the sixth and four more in the seventh.
