The Tigers took an early lead but poor defense in the fourth created a big inning for the Blue Jays in a 6-2 Tigers loss.

Bo Bichette's two-run single broke a scoreless tie in the eighth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the slumping Detroit Tigers 6-1.

Despite the loss, Scherzer still delivered seven quality innings and struck out eleven batters. Manager John Schneider added via Keegan Matheson, “The Thumb-O-Meter is good right now,” referencing the injury that cost Scherzer most of the first half. Scherzer also acknowledged that his pitch count reaching 96 was a good sign.
