The Tigers played another pretty solid seven innings, but the bullpen blew a lead once again and they eventually lost in the tenth inning to fall to 2-9 on the young season.
This pitching matchup definitely didn’t favor the Tigers, with Kevin Gausman at home and making his third start after a pair of shutout performances. Eduardo Rodriguez has faded in both his first two outings, and the Blue Jays feature a lineup full of dangerous right-handed hitters. As it turned out, Rodriguez held his own just fine.
Early on, things were going the Tigers way. They went down quickly in the top of the first, but did produce a fine defensive play.
