Blue Jays 5, Tigers 1: Tigers lose 3rd straight, offense remains a no-show on road trip.

?In the post game presser, Leyland took much of the blame, saying "I screwed it up," admitting he never should have allowed Sanchez to come out for the 7th inning.

?Leyland also added Ryan Raburn will start in left and Gerald Laird will catch with the Blue Jays starting a left hander on Sunday.

Screencap of the game:

Despite his being right on top of the bag, somehow the 2nd base umpire Gary Darling didn't call Encarnacion out for passing the lead runner (Lawrie) on this play in the 7th. Leyland disputed the missed call, but it fell on deaf ears...not surprising, considering his already blind eyes. dumb shit ump.
