I know at about the 4th inning, how gay is that!

 

[kalinecountry]

Boesch flys out, Quinton Berry and Nick Castellanos single in the bottom 6th runners first and second. Strieby flies to right. Berry tags up and gets to third. Head walks, bases loaded for Omir Santos, flys out.

Seeing eye single plates a run for the Jays; now 2-1. Pauley still pitching.

Castellanos with a great pick at 3B...then he threw it about a foot over Strieby's head.

Two-run triple by Quintin Berry puts the Tigers back on top 3-2 in the seventh.
Castellanos ends the inning with a weak fly ball to right. Spent the majority of the at-bat jawing with the ump. Easy young fella.

Bootcheck pitching the 8th for Tigers, and strikes out 2 jays batters.
Tigers lead 3 - 2.
