Blue Jays Thwart Tigers, 4-3
The Toronto Blue Jays did just enough to sneak past the Detroit Tigers, 4-3, at Comerica Park. Toronto pitcher Ricky Sosa, in particular, had a standout performance. Po-Hsung Keng, now 3-0, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed 1 run on 2 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 1. The Blue Jays are now 61-60, while the Tigers fall to 55-66.

Toronto needed the clutch hitting of Carlos Quentin to notch the win. The left fielder hammered a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 4-3. For the game, Quentin had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Afterward, Blue Jays manager Matt S said, "We had some good at-bats, some big at-bats in some key situations."
