The Tigers and Blue Jays met for game two of a four game series at Comerica Park. The Jays took game one behind a brutalizing of Tigers pitching. Would that happen again in this game?Keider Montero was up for the Tigers in this one. The righty pitcher has had an up and down year so far, coming into this one with a 4.28 ERA and having been in and out of the rotation. The Blue Jays started things off with a hit, as Nathan Lukes got a single. Keider struck out George Springer swinging, then induced a grounder that advanced the runner, although Montero made a nice defensive play on it. With two outs and an early scoring chance, the Jays faltered, as Bo Bichette grounded Tigers also started things off with a hit against righty Jos eacute; Berr iacute;os, who has struggled of late. With AJ shaking things up in the lineup, Colt Keith was DHing and led off the game, smacking a single. Unfortunately, Gleyber Torres immediately hit a doubleplay ball Tarik Skubal Jersey, erasing them both. Riley Greene worked a walk, something he hasnt done much of lately. Tork popped out, and that was the second, the Jays got a twoout single but nothing else, as Montero was mixing things up rather well to that Tigers broke through in the bottom of the frame. Wenceel P eacute;rez singled. Zack McKinstry struck out, but P eacute;rez was able to steal second. Dillon Dingler hit a ball that may have been snagged if the defender didnt have to worry about the runner and was thus not in position to make the play. The result was an RBI and a stretch double for Dingler, who just barely made it into second before the throw. The next two batters were retired, including Javy B aacute;ez swinging at a breaking ball about a foot outside, but the Tigers had drawn first went 123 in the top of the third, a welcome sight. The Tigers did the got to Keider in the 4th. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. doubled to deep left center on a ball that it looked like Riley Greene mistimed, trying to jump for it and missing. A grounder moved him to third, and a double for Addison Barger scored him. A grounder moved Barger over, and then what should have been an inningending groundout was thrown poorly by B aacute;ez, allowing another baserunner and scoring a run. A single followed and Tigers fans everywhere were groaning. Montero bucked down and fixed it himself, striking out Will Wagner on a checkedswing, stopping the threat. Still, it was now 21 Blue Jays on some real poor defense and a few hard hit Tigers needed an answer, and fast. Berrios got the first two batters without too much difficulty Kenta Maeda Jersey, but McKinstry worked a walk to break a run of 7 straight batters retired. Nothing came of it, as Dingler flied out to end Jays led off the 5th with a bloop single to left from Lukes. You could hear some Lets Go Blue Jays chants on the broadcast, showing how many fans had made the border crossing for the series. Springer then hit a single, followed by an RBI double from Guerrero Jr. Which was immediately followed by a Bichette double. Within about three minutes it was suddenly 51 Jays as Montero couldnt get ANYONE out the third time through the order. He was pulled in favor of Tyler Holton. He got Barger to ground out. Kirk blooped one into left field to score another run, so Monteros final line was 4 IP, runs 4 earned, 9 hits, and 3Ks. Pretty frustrating situation because he had pitched adequately until the third time through the kept the conga line going by dropping a single into right field, putting two on with one out. Holton finally settled in, retiring the next two batters to stop the bleeding. That kind of inning has been way too prevalent of late, where the other team puts up large numbers and the Tigers dont seem to have an led off their half of the frame with a singleand thats all they got. No answer for the big inning was to be Hanifee relieved Holton for the top of the 6th. He got a groundout, then a fly ball to center was nearly caught by Meadows in this writers opinion, he should have caught it, leading to a single. A strikeout got Hanifee close to out of the inning, then a pickoff throw to first was misplayed by Tork, allowing the runner to steal second. A groundout ended things, but the team looked totally deflated and making rookielevel a Greene strikeout, Tork decided hed had enough. He brutalized a baseball for a Tork Bomb over the left field wall Duque Hebbert Jersey, hitting his 23rd homer of the year. The next two Tigers grounded out, but at least the game was a little Hurter was in the game to pitch the 7th while it started to rain at the park. B aacute;ez snagged a line drive for the first out, Kirk flied out, but then Hurter hurt Loperfido by hitting him with a baseball. Loperfido said lsquo;thank you for putting me on base by stealing second immediately. Hurter got Clement swinging to stop the threat, Tigers went 123 in the 7th, although it required some highlight defense from the stayed out in the 8th, giving up only a single. No damage. Great outing for Brant to keep things in reachable distance, assuming they could score some runs. They would not score some Jones came in for Keith against the lefty in the bottom of the eighth, but the bats continued to slumber as nobody reached Hartlieb relieved Hurter in the 9th. He was called up yesterday for an audition before Skubal is reactivated off the paternity list. It didnt go well for him in his first game. He allowed two baserunners in this one, but got out of it without letting them score. Hes likely DFAd tomorrow, but at least he had this Tigers had three more outs remaining in the bottom of the 9th. Yariel Rodr iacute;guez relieved Brendon Little to try to keep them from rallying. He got Tork to strike out for the first out. P eacute;rez flied out. McKinstry grounded out. Game Over.
