Game Summary
Detroit Tigers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5. The Tigers overcame an early 2-0 deficit by staging a four-run seventh inning highlighted by Max Clark’s two-run double and a Spencer Torkelson RBI double, then tied it in the eighth on Brett Callahan’s RBI single and won when a missed-catch error by pitcher Louis Varland allowed Zach McKinstry to score in the ninth. Kazuma Okamoto homered for Toronto, finishing with three RBIs, and José Soriano worked 6.1 innings, allowing four runs while striking out five. Tyler Kinley threw a scoreless inning to earn the win and Kenley Jansen closed the game with a clean ninth for the save.
