Split Series

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the day when Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier - in honor of this players all over baseball are wearing his number. Several Tigers players took the field with the number 42 on their backs and they found that their bats had once again grown cold. Nate Roberston pitched another 7 solid innings giving up 2 runs, 2 walks and 7 hits while picking up 5 K's but it wasn't enough - the Tigers fell to the Blue Jays 2-1 and split the 4 game series.

The Tigers lone run came as the result of a pickoff error by Jays starter Josh Towers.

This first and very long road trip has wrapped up - the Tigers went 6-4 and are finally heading back home to Comerica Park where they will take on Zach Greinke and the Kansas City Royals, starting tomorrow night at 7:05 pm.

Tigers record: 7-5
