Early on in today's game it seemed like the Blue Jays would walk off with an easy victory. Chad Durbin was not sharp giving up 6 runs, 8 hits (including 2 HRs) and a walk in 4 innings. The Tigers need to find a better solution to the spot vacated by Kenny Rogers' injury - after two starts Durbin has a 12.46 ERA. Fortunately the Tigers bats woke up and they kept pressing the Jays. It was enough to get them back in the game after being down 4-0 and then to propel them into the lead in the 9th when the pressure got to the Jays and they began to exhibit sloppy play. The Tigers took advantage and the win 10-7.
Todd Jones picked up his 6th save in 6 chances and still has a 0.00 ERA. Inge picked up 2 more hits and stole 2 bases - his average is now higher than Sheffield's which still isn't saying much as Gary's average is a lowly .132. Jason Grilli had his first positive outing of the season lasting 3 innings in long relief without giving up any hits.
Tigers record: 7-4
