Surging Blue Jays beat slumping Tigers in a matchup of 1st-place teams going in opposite directions
DETROIT (AP) — Ernie Clement and Joey Loperfido hit back-to back hit home runs in the sixth inning to help the surging Toronto Blue Jays rout the slumping Detroit Tigers 11-4 on Thursday night in a matchup of first-place teams going in opposite directions. The AL East-leading Blue Jays have won 19 of their last 24 games, and the AL Central-leading Tigers have lost 10 of 11. Clement's three-run home run gave Toronto a 4-1 lead and Loperfido followed with a soaring, solo shot to right field. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a game-tying double in the sixth to bring home the first of five runs in the inning. Guerrero's RBI double in the four-run seventh helped the Blue Jays pull away with a 9-1 lead. The Blue Jays didn't let up, going ahead 11-1 in the eighth on Nathan Lukes' two-run homer. Jahmai Jones hit a solo homer to give Detroit a 1-0 lead in the first. The Tigers didn't generate more offense until it was too late in the ninth, when Spencer Torkeson hit his 22nd homer in a three-run inning against right-hander Chad Green. Eric Lauer (6-2) allowed one run on five hits without a walk while striking out six in a season-high eight innings. Reese Olson (4-4) gave up five runs on six hits and two walks over 5 2/3 innings after throwing four scoreless innings. Dietrich Enns replaced him and got roughed up, allowing four runs. Geoff Hartlieb gave up two more runs in one inning after being recalled from Triple-A Toledo to replace right-hander Carlos Hernandez, who was designated for assignment. Key moment Clement hit Olson's hanging slider over the left-field wall for a three-run homer in the pivotal sixth inning. Key stat The Blue Jays have won nine straight series openers and are 22-13 in the first game of a series this season. Up next Toronto RHP Jose Berrios (6-4) and Detroit RHP Keider Montero (4-2) are the probable pitchers Friday in the second matchup in the four-game series. ___ AP MLB: Larry Lage, The Associated Press

Blue Jays send Tigers to 10th loss in 11 games with 11-4 victory, take top record in AL
At the MLB All-Star break, the Detroit Tigers had the best record in baseball at 59-38. That was despite losing four consecutive games. Yet the Tigers have kept losing since the 2025 season resumed, taking the defeat in six of seven games after being battered 11-4 by the Toronto Blue Jays in their first home game since MLB's midseason hiatus. Losing 10 of its past 11 games, Detroit now has the third-best record in the American League at 60-44. Toronto has the league's best mark 61-42, a half game ahead of the 60-42 Houston Astros. The Tigers have the sixth-best record in MLB with both the Milwaukee Brewers (61-41) and Los Angeles Dodgers 60-43) ahead of them, as well. The Blue Jays sent Detroit reeling with a five-run sixth inning, kicked off with an RBI double by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to tie the score at 1-1. After Tigers starter Reese Olson got Bo Bichette to ground out, he intentionally walked Addison Barger to face Ernie Clement. Clement blew that strategy up with a three-run homer on a hanging slider from Reese in the middle of the strike zone. Joey Loperfido followed with a solo home run off a changeup low and inside to give Toronto a 6-1 lead. Olson then hit Tyler Heineman and was pulled from the game in favor of Dietrich Enns. Enns finished off the sixth inning, but had his own difficulties in the seventh. Nathan Lukes led off the frame with a double and was driven in on a one-out single from Guerrero. Bichette followed with a single and came home on a two-run triple by Barger. Clement then made it a 9-1 game by driving in Barger with a sacrifice fly. Olson finished with five runs allowed on six hits and two walks in 5 2/3 innings. Enns gave up four runs and four hits in 1 1/3 innings. Geoff Hartlieb followed with two runs allowed, serving a two-run homer to Lukes in the eighth inning. Only catcher Jake Rogers, a position player giving the Tigers' bullpen a break, left unscathed, throwing a scoreless ninth. Every Blue Jays starting batter got a hit on Thursday, led by Guerrero hitting 3-for-5 with two RBI. Lukes, Clement, Loperfido and Will Wagner each got two hits. Meanwhile, Eric Lauer provided strong pitching, allowing one run and five hits over eight innings with six strikeouts. Chad Green allowed three runs in the ninth inning, including a homer by Spencer Torkelson, but the Toronto lead was too big for that to matter. Keider Montero (4-2, 4.28 ERA) gets the start for the Tigers on Friday, while José Berríos (6-4, 3.87) goes for the Blue Jays.
