Blue Jays rout Tigers 12-1
Saturday, July 20, 2019

(DETROIT) – Danny Jansen was hitless in his first three at-bats when he tried to change his luck, by shaving his mustache. Jansen's two-run single in the sixth inning was just a small part of an offensive onslaught by the Blue Jays, who batted around in the both the fourth and the sixth on their way to a 12-1 rout of the Detroit Tigers on Friday night. Marcus Stroman breezed through seven scoreless innings for Toronto, and Teoscar Hernandez homered. Stroman (6-10) allowed six hits. The All-Star right-hander struck out five with no walks in what was his first career start at Detroit. Toronto scored four runs in the fourth and five in the sixth, sending 10 batters to the plate in each inning. The Tigers lost for the 26th time in their last 29 home games. That does not include a May 19 game in which Detroit was also losing when the contest was suspended. Jordan Zimmermann (0-7) is now winless in his last 16 starts. He allowed six runs and seven hits in 3 2/3 innings, and the right-hander has yielded 20 runs in his last three starts. Detroit reinstated OF JaCoby Jones (back) from the injured list. He had three hits. The Tigers are 7-32 since the start of June.
