ALCS Game 1 vs. TOR

Deviating from expected plans, the Blue Jays reset their rotation with the beginning of this new series. As a result, Gio Gonzalez started (rather than Dustin McGowan). The Tigers weren't bothered, even though they sent Jon Lester to the mound.

Lester continued to make progress from his strong starts late in the season. He only gave up 1 after 7 innings.

Meanwhile, the Tigers batted around in the 1st and bounced Gio out.

Darren Oliver went 5 innings, somewhat salvaging the bullpen.

The Tigers lead the ALCS 1-0. If the Blue Jays have in fact reset their rotation, Justin Verlander will counter Brandon Morrow. Morrow dominated the Tigers earlier this season.
