BOX SCORE

The Tigers won game 1 of the ALDS against the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 Friday night. But it wasn't easy. Toronto took a 1-0 lead in the third, on a Lourdes Gurriel Jr. solo home run, and the lead held until the 8th. The Tiger hitters couldn't get anything going against Jays starter Alek Manoah, who allowed just 3 hits through the first seven innings.

But it all changed in the bottom of the 8th. Rookie catcher Kyle Dutcher led off the 8th with a solo home run, tying the game at 1. Manoah gave way to Yimi Garcia, who promptly gave up back to back home runs to Javier Baez, and Juan Soto giving the Tigers a 3-1 lead. Gregory Soto pitched a perfect 9th innning, for his first save of the post season, securing the 3-1 win.

Starter Casey Mize was outstanding. Mize tossed 8 innings of 4 hit ball, allowing just the solo home run to Gurriel Jr. Mize struck out 12.

Game 2 will be tomorrow afternoon at Comerica Park in Detroit. Tarik Skubal goes for the Tigers. Jose Berrios toes the slab for the Blue Jays. Game time is 1:05PM EST.
