The Tigers will look to win their second consecutive game as the Blue Jays will try to stop the bleeding and end their two-game losing streak. As always, they will depend on the middle of their order. Torii Hunter has proven valuable to this team in the second slot in the lineup as he's been feasting off pitching. The power numbers are down, but the contact is there.
The Blue Jays will look to string runs together. So far in the season, they have scored three or less runs in four of their seven games.
