Tigers 6 Bluejays 3

The Tigers won again last night against the Jays 6-3 to complete the season opening sweep. It looked like the Tigers were going to have a bad game after the first inning. Tigers' starter Jeremy Bonderman looked bad early as he gave up a three run homerun to Carlos Delgado in the first inning. Those were the only runs the Jays would get for the rest of the game. The Tigers came back in the bottom of the first with 4 runs to put them in the lead. They never looked back. Bonderman settled down as he retired 11 straight batters after the first inning. Bonderman tied his career high in strikeouts by the first out of the sixth inning and was on his way to a career outing when the Tigers received their second injury scare in as many nights. Vernon Wells slapped a hard bouncer up the middle that hit Bonderman's ankle, knocking him to the ground in pain. He appears he will be ok and should be ready for his next start. He finished the game with 8 strikouts and got the victory. After Bonderman went out, 4 Tiger relievers came in and retiring 11 of Toronto's final 12 hitters. They didn't allow one Bluejay past second base. Last year the Tigers would have lost this game. The Tigers' season opener is at 2:00 p.m., this afternoon, against the Twins.
Notes-The Tigers, who swept just two series all of last season, earned their first three-game sweep in Toronto since the 1984 season. That's also the last year they came home to Detroit for their home opener with a winning record
