The Detroit Tigers improved their record to 24-27 with a decisive 6-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, who now stand at 23-27. The game, held at Comerica Park, saw the Tigers capitalize on key moments to secure their win.

Detroit's offense came alive in the second inning when they scored their first run. This early momentum set the tone for a productive fourth inning where they added three more runs.

Kenta Maeda was instrumental on the mound for Detroit, earning his second win of the season. Maeda pitched five innings without allowing any runs and gave up only four hits. His performance was complemented by Jason Foley, who secured his eleventh save of the season despite facing a late surge from Toronto.

The Blue Jays struggled offensively for most of the game but managed to rally in the ninth inning with two runs off four hits. However, it was too little too late as Alek Manoah took his second loss of the season after giving up six earned runs over five innings.

Toronto's offense had ten hits but failed to convert these opportunities into enough runs until it was too late in the ninth inning rally attempt which fell short against Foley’s closing efforts.
