With the “rivalry weekend” series against the Blue Jays tied 1-1, the Tigers took on Toronto with the series win on the line. Even though Detroit leads the league in wins, the hard-charging Minnesota Twins have won 13 in a row to surge to four games back of the Tigers, meaning every game is important right now.
José Berríos led off the game for the Blue Jays. He got bombed in his last outing against the Tampa Bay Rays, so you knew he was hoping to shake that off. Spoilers: he did not. Kerry Carpenter greeted him with a single.
