Eighth Inning
A pivotal moment came during an explosive eighth inning for Detroit when they scored seven runs from seven hits and took advantage of one error committed by Toronto's defense. This offensive outburst put significant pressure on Toronto's bullpen and widened Detroit's lead substantially.
