Long Ball Proves to be Tigers Friend

Home runs proved to be the Jays downfall this evening as they suffer their first loss of the season. The Tigers scored 5 runs all by the long ball- two by Cabrera and one by Brandon Inge his third of he season.

Jesse Litsch went six innings and was tagged for the loss. Jeff Miner after a shaky start in the first went 5 2/3 and recorded the win.

The Jays bats cooled off rather quickly and after the first inning did not pose a threat throughout the rest of the game. Shades of 2008 here.

Final score Tigers 5 - Jays 1. Series concludes tomorrow with an afternoon game as two rookies take the mound.
