Jeff Hoffman takes the L, but actually wasn’t really bad. The bigger problem was managing just five hits and two walks off a pretty bad bullpen in a game where the expected bulk guy was knocked out after two batters. The Tigers’ bullpen was mostly effective today. Their intended bulk guy, Ty Madden, was knocked out by a comebacker on his second batter, but Drew Anderson assumed the role and shut the Jays down for four innings. Brenan Hanifee got through the first facing the minimum, but a lead off double from Kazuma Okamoto knocked him out in favour of . Hurter got two outs, but then a walk to and an double right down the left field line resulted in a pair of runs for the Jays. He’d then walk Brandon Valenzuela, leading AJ Hinch to call for Ty Madden to clean up. He got a fly out to end the inning. Leading off the third, Yohendrick Pinango lined a comebacker off Madden, going for a single and knocking yet another Tigers reliever out of the game. got out of the inning, on a pop up and a K plus picking Pinango off first. Smith stuck around for the fourth, getting a double play to erase a Jesus Sanchez ground ball single. Drew Anderson did exactly the same in the fifth, with hitting the double play ball to erase a Valenzuela single. Anderson did one better in the sixth, sitting the Jays down in order, and then repeated the trick in the seventh and eighth. Trey Yesavage had some struggles with his command today, as he has since his injury-delayed debut this season, but was pretty effective in spite of that. He got into a jam in the first, with a walk to and a single putting men on the corners with one out, but a pair of Ks helped him escape. After a 1-2-3 second, he found himself in another two-on-one-out jam in the third. Kevin McGonigle walked and Dingler singled. He struck out the next batter, but a pair of wild pitches while facing plated McGonigle and cut the Jays’ lead to 2-1 before a fly out ended the inning. The fourth was another clean inning. His wildness returned in the fifth. His third walk put Hao-Yu Lee on, and his third wild pitch moved him to second base. He got a weak fly from McGonigle that Lee thought was going to drop, but made a sliding catch and then threw back to second for the rare fly ball double play. The Tigers tied it up in the sixth. Dingler hit a grounder to second. Ernie Clement fielded it but his throw to first was way wide, allowing Dingler to advance to second. A ground out moved him to third, and a Greene line drive double scored him. The next two batters hit balls hard but some solid outfield D got Yesavage out without falling behind. In spite of the wildness, Yesavage got through six in 88 pitches. Because he’s still ramping up, though, that was it for his night. All told he allowed two runs on four hits and three walks with three wild pitches, striking out six. He racked up 18 swinging strikes, which shows that his stuff was as dominant as ever. Trey still doesn’t have the feel for his splitter, but it’s a good sign that he’s getting through innings in spite of that, and as he gets dialed in the Jays can hope he gets even better. took over in the bottom of seven. He walked but a double play got him out of it with the tie preserved. The eighth belonged to . lined a two out single, but Valenzuela gunned him down trying to steal second to end the inning. sat the Jays down in order in the ninth. In the bottom half, Jeff Hoffman struck Greene out before a soft fly ball found the exact spot where none of Varsho, Pinango or Gimenez could get to it. Hoffman bounced back to strike out . Vierling stole second, and Hoffman fell being 2-0 before deciding to intentionally walk him to get force plays at every base and get a matchup with Spencer Torkelson. That seemed questionable, and sure enough Torkelson lined a walk off single to right to end the game. **Jays of the Day:** Gimenez (0.12), Mantiply (0.11) **Less so:** Springer (-0.14), Pinango (-0.10), Vlad (-0.10), Varsho (-0.11), Hoffman (-0.36) It’s a day game tomorrow. The Jays have not officially announced a starter. Last time through, Spencer Miles pitched three innings opening for . With Lauer banished to the phantom zone, it’ll likely be a bullpen day, probably with Miles as a bulk guy or opener again since he hasn’t pitched in five days now. We know who’ll represent the Tigers: (2-2, 2.90), who’s off to a terrific start. Things get rolling at 1:10pm ET.
