Detroit Tigers Reach 30 Wins with 5-4 Victory Over Toronto Blue Jays

The Detroit Tigers became the first MLB team to reach 30 wins this season by defeating the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4, with key contributions from Riley Greene, who hit his 11th home run and drove in three runs, and Javier Báez and Zach McKinstry, who also homered. Jack Flaherty ended a six-start winless streak by pitching 5 2/3 innings and allowing two runs, while Beau Brieske earned his first save. The Tigers have been dominant against AL East teams with a 9-1 record and are currently leading the AL Central. The Blue Jays were without slugger Anthony Santander, who was rested and has struggled recently, and starting pitcher Bowden Francis gave up four runs and has the MLB-worst 14 homers allowed this season. The Tigers’ strong offense and solid pitching contributed to extending their winning streak to four games. Upcoming games include Reese Olson starting for the Tigers, with the Blue Jays yet to name their starter.
