First Inning


Both teams started cautiously in the first inning. The Blue Jays managed a single hit but couldn't convert it into runs. Meanwhile, the Tigers mirrored this performance with one hit and no runs as well.


Second Inning


The second inning saw Detroit take an early lead as they scored their first run off two hits. However, Toronto's defense held firm to prevent further damage.


Fourth Inning


Toronto's bats came alive in the fourth inning when they scored two runs on three hits. This offensive burst was initiated by Bo Bichette's sharp hitting and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s consistent presence on base.


Fifth Inning


The fifth inning proved pivotal for the Jays as they unleashed a flurry of hits that resulted in four more runs crossing home plate. With six hits during this frame alone, including doubles from key players like George Springer and Joey Loperfido, Toronto firmly took control of the game.


Sixth Inning Onwards


Despite Detroit adding another run in the sixth inning through strategic hitting and capitalizing on opportunities presented by Toronto’s pitching errors, it wasn't enough to bridge their deficit. The Birds’ bullpen showcased resilience by shutting down any further scoring attempts from Motor City Kitties for the remainder of innings seven through nine.


Toronto’s pitching staff demonstrated commendable control throughout most parts of this matchup; José Berríos led with precision while Braydon Fisher maintained zero earned runs during his time on mound duty—contributing significantly towards keeping opponents at bay effectively across all innings played out here tonight!
