Despite being outhit 10-4 on Saturday, the Blue Jays have won two of the first three contests of their four-game series.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a single in the first inning. He then stole his second base of the season and scored on a single by Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
Toronto right-hander Ross Stripling allowed two runs and five hits while picking up five strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings.
Detroit right-hander Drew Hutchison yielded one run, two hits and three walks with three strikeouts in five innings.

The Tigers again started the fifth with two singles, this time by Eric Haase and Robbie Grossman. Detroit won a challenge and Jonathan Schoop was ruled to have been hit by a pitch to load the bases.
Kody Clemens hit a sacrifice fly and Adam Cimber replaced Stripling. Riley Greene hit an RBI double to give Detroit a 2-1 lead, however Schoop was thrown out trying to score on Cimber's errant pickoff throw to third.
Jeimer Candelario was hit by a pitch with one out in the sixth and Haase singled. Schoop hit a two-out RBI single, and Trevor Richards (3-1) replaced Cimber.
Derek Law (0-1) allowed Santiago Espinal's leadoff single in the bottom of the sixth before George Springer's grounder forced Espinal at second. Guerrero was hit by a pitch and the bases were loaded on Law's error on Gurriel's comebacker. Bo Bichette then hit a sacrifice fly and Hernandez belted his 14th homer of the season to stake Toronto to a 5-3 lead.
