Blue Jays Need Extra Innings to Top Tigers, 8-6
Detroit wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Sam Militello, falling to the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-6. Militello threw 7.2 innings of 3-hit ball for the losing team. Omar Bencomo, now 1-0, picked up the win in relief. He allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. The loss drops Detroit to 5-6.

Toronto used the timely hitting of Joe Oliver to seize the win. The catcher stroked a 2-run single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 6-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Big win," said Oliver.
