The Tigers needed one.
They lost again Sunday at Rogers Centre, scraping up but six hits in a 6-1 tumble that saw the Blue Jays bash Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez for five runs in four innings.
With the exception of Miguel Cabrera, who is headed for Tuesday’s All-Star Game at San Diego, the Tigers will take a breather as they mull a 46-43 record, and their second-place niche in the American League Central, 6½ games behind front-running Cleveland, a half-game in front of the White Sox and Royals.
