Tigers’ goose is cooked; win streak ends at 4

Detroit -- Goodbye, oh invincible Rally Goose. Goodbye, four-game winning streak.

All the grand things a baseball team had been doing for most of the past week dissolved Sunday at Comerica Park where the Blue Jays popped the Tigers, 8-4, their first loss since a goose crashed into a Comerica scoreboard and prompted a five-day, bird-flavored fun-fest that had extended through the weekend.

Michael Fulmer had what appeared to be the makings of a masterpiece through five innings: a shutout, three Blue Jays hits, and a handsome pitch-count due to needing only 40 tosses through the first four innings.
