Detroit Tigers suffer another loss to Toronto Blue Jays 6-2
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. doubled twice and scored a pair of runs as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the slumping Detroit Tigers 6-2 Friday night. The American League-leading Blue Jays are 7-1 since the All-Star break, while the Tigers have lost five straight and 11 of 12. José Berríos (7-4) picked up the win, giving up two runs on five hits and two walks in six innings. Keider Montero (4-3) took the loss, allowing six runs on nine hits in four-plus innings. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in the second when Wenceel Pérez singled, stole second and scored on Dillon Dingler's double. Addison Barger's RBI double made it 1-1 in the fourth and he scored with two outs on a throwing error by Javier Báez. The Blue Jays then took control with a four-run fifth. Nathan Lukes and George Springer started the inning with singles, and Guerrero hit an RBI double. Bo Bichette's two-run double made it 5-1 and Alejandro Kirk's single off reliever Tyler Holton gave Toronto a five-run lead. Spencer Torkelson's 23rd homer of the season pulled the Tigers within 6-2 in the sixth. The Tigers didn't get another baserunner after Torkelson's sixth-inning homer.

Max Scherzer Makes His Opinion of Yankees Clear After Blue Jays' Loss
Max Scherzer Makes His Opinion of Yankees Clear After Blue Jays' Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitcher Max Scherzer is a three-time Cy Young Award winner, but he didn't look like one against the New York Yankees on Tuesday. The 40-year-old allowed four runs on five hits in five innings, ending with a no-decision in the 5-4 loss. Scherzer gave up a three-run homer to Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the first inning before allowing a solo shot by outfielder Cody Bellinger in the fifth. First baseman Ben Rice hit a solo homer of his own off of Toronto closer Jeff Hoffman in the ninth, giving New York a 5-4 lead that it didn't relinquish. Scherzer gave his honest thoughts about the Yankees postgame, via Hazel Mae. The future Hall of Famer said he got punished for not locating his pitches well. 'I tip my hat to the Yankees. They're a great lineup," he said. "They're tough as nails. This isn't taking anything away from them. This shows you how good they are. You make mistakes like that, they punish you.' Scherzer now has a 5.14 ERA across six starts this season. The former World Series champion went down with a thumb injury during his first outing of the year on March 29 and didn't return until June 25. The Blue Jays are still three games ahead of the Yankees atop the AL East ahead of Wednesday's rubber match. New York southpaw Max Fried (11-3, 2.43 ERA) will face Toronto right-hander Chris Bassitt (10-4, 3.89 ERA). This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 23, 2025, where it first appeared.
