Calderon Leads Blue Jays to 13-7 Win Over Tigers
Ivan Calderon added some punch to the Toronto offense, helping them outmuscle the Detroit Tigers, 13-7. In the game, Calderon, who led the AL in wins above replacement with 8.4 in 1985, belted 2 home runs, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 5. The Blue Jays, at 100-53, have a comfortable 26½-game lead in their division.

Calderon had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a 0-1 fastball from Bryan Harvey, he banged a 3-run home run to left-center, giving the Blue Jays a 10-7 lead. It was the 42nd home run of the year for Calderon.

"We've got a great group of guys," Calderon said, "and we're having fun right now."
