TORONTO — Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Alek Manoah allowed four runs in an outing for the third time this season as the Detroit Tigers capitalized on their opportunities before the All-Star pitcher exited in the sixth inning, chased by a comebacker.
The better-than-usual plate appearances were backed up by a solid pitching performance, especially from five relievers out of the bullpen, in the Tigers' 4-2 victory over the Blue Jays in the second of four games at Rogers Centre.
The Tigers (41-60) did not allow a run after the fourth inning.
One of the biggest moments of the game occurred in the bottom of the fourth, when right-handed reliever Will Vest took over for righty starter Bryan Garcia, who was cruising through his first MLB start until a pair of two-out walks led to a go-ahead run for Toronto.
