Toronto Vs. Detroit

If the Detroit Tigers keep getting strong performances from their starting pitchers, another winning streak could be in their near future.

Scherzer will try to help Detroit rebound from the end of its five-game win streak and earn his third straight victory Thursday night in the opener of a four-game series at the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Tigers (63-64) led Kansas City 3-0 after six innings Wednesday, but their bullpen faltered en route to a 4-3 loss in 12 innings. Jose Valverde gave up the tying run, snapping a streak of 24 consecutive converted save opportunities.
