Blue Jays Storm to Victory, Leaving Tigers Reeling and Claiming AL’s Top Spot—What’s Fueling Their Unstoppable Run?
“We’ve hit a collective rut where almost all of our guys are having an unproductive at-bat at some point, and it’s not easy to correct overnight,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said afterward, via MLive.com.
“But we’re working. We’re trying,” he continued. “These guys are coming up with good game plans, they’ve had great attitudes, they’re working. Then they get in the game, and when one bad thing happens, the dam breaks. That’s what’s happened over two weeks.”
The Blue Jays sent Detroit reeling Thursday with a five-run sixth inning kicked off by an RBI double from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. that tied the score 1-1. After Tigers starter Reese Olson got Bo Bichette to ground out, he intentionally walked Addison Barger to face Ernie Clement. Clement blew that strategy up with a three-run homer on a hanging slider in the middle of the strike zone.
