TORONTO — Two-run homers from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer were not enough in the Toronto Blue Jays' series-opening 5-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Friday.
Toronto starter Chris Bassitt surrendered a second two-run homer, this time to Perez in the seventh inning, to allow the Tigers to regain their three-run cushion. Guerrero's line-drive homer off the second deck facing in left field with Justin Turner aboard spelled the end of a brilliant start from Detroit's Jack Flaherty . He yielded two runs on three hits with eight strikeouts and a walk in his 5 2/3 innings.His first troublesome inning was the fourth. Matt Vierling led off with a double down the left-field line and scored on Riley Greene's single. Canha then rocked his seventh homer of the season for a 3-0 advantage for the visitors.
Detroit relievers Will Vest, Andrew Chafin and Beau Briske made sure Flaherty recorded the victory. Detroit lefty Tyler Holton enjoyed a 1-2-3 ninth inning for his third save.The Blue Jays activated Yimi Garcia from the 15-day injured list and recalled Erik Swanson from triple-A Buffalo before the game to help the bullpen.
