Williams, Blue Jays Take Dramatic Game 1 for 1-0 Series Lead
The Toronto Blue Jays started the Wild Card in dramatic fashion, stealing Game 1 from the Detroit Tigers in a walk-off in the 12th inning. Toronto took the 5-2 win thanks in large part to a good day from starter Mike Williams. The right-hander threw 5.2 innings of shutout ball in the win, which gave the Blue Jays a 1-0 lead to start the best-of-3 series.

Toronto got a knockout punch from Nick Maruschak. The second baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the bottom of the 12th inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"We played a good game and came out on top," said Maruschak.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Comerica Park in Detroit.
