Blue Jays' ascent takes them to the top of MLB standings for first time since 1992

Article content 'Best in baseball' are three words no one would have dared utter when describing a Blue Jays team that ended last season dead last in the AL East. Article content But following Friday night's 6-2 win over the host Detroit Tigers, the Jays can officially lay claim to Major League Baseball's best record. Article content At 62-42, the Jays have not been atop MLB's overall standings this late into a season since 1992 — the year they won their first World Series. Article content Article content Friday's win pushed Toronto ahead of the 61-42 Milwaukee Brewers, who lost to Miami earlier in the day. It also expanded their lead atop the AL East to 51/2 games over the New York Yankees, losers again to the visiting Phillies. Article content Many more games await, but the Jays continue to find ways to win with everyone in the lineup producing. Article content What they don't do is beat themselves, which can't be said about their opponents. Article content The following are three takeaways from Comerica Park, where the Jays went homerless, but did record 13 hits, including four for extra bases. Article content 1. Vlad the hit man Article content While it's true the Jays could use more thump from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and coming through in the big moment with a game at stake, it's also true that the half-billion dollar man in waiting has been swinging it well. Article content Vladdy went 2-for-5, with both hits being doubles. With the Jays down 1-0, he led off the fourth with a two-bagger and scored on Addison Barger's double. The hit extended Guerrero's streak to seven games. Article content Article content Next time up, in the fifth — yet another four-run inning for the team — his double plated Nathan Lukes and gave him 10 hits in his past four games. Article content Vlad's swing is as smooth as ever. That being said, he'll have to provide some consistent power at some point where he carries the team offensively. Article content 2. Tough act to follow Article content Following a brilliant outing by lefty Eric Lauer in the series opener, Jose Berrios was tasked with keeping the ball rolling Friday night. Article content Mission accomplished. Despite giving up the game's first run on an RBI double in the second inning, then a Spencer Torkelson homer in the sixth, Berrios looked solid, allowing just five hits and two walks in his six innings while striking out six. Article content Of note, Berrios twice faced Tigers veteran Javier Baez — his brother-in-law — and struck him out both times. Baez, who is enjoying a renaissance season for Detroit, has only one hit in his career off Berrios.
