Tigers Rally to Nose Past Toronto
Riding the 3-hit performance of the 30-year old catcher Kyle Neal, the Detroit Tigers stopped the Toronto Blue Jays, 3-2. Detroit reliever Bill Whittaker was the winner. His record is now 4-1. Seth Jinks took the loss. The third-place Tigers now have a record of 38-40.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Neal hit a cutter from Seth Jinks for a solo home run. The Tigers, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"That's baseball," said Toronto manager Dan Silva. "Sometimes the other team plays better than yours."
