Squandered opportunities, fateful sixth inning doom Tigers in Toronto

Toronto — The Tigers scored twice in the top of the fifth inning and took a 2-1 lead but, as it turned out, probably squandered their best chance to win the game, as well.

Teoscar Hernandez ignited a four-run sixth inning with a 424-foot, three-run home run to center field, sending the Blue Jays to a 5-3 win at Rogers Centre.

The runs, all unearned, came against former Blue Jays right-hander Derek Law, making his Tigers debut. It was a rough one.

Law drilled Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the hand with a 97-mph sinker.
