The first game of the series certainly did not go well for the Tigers. Things seemed to be promising after Jamai Jones hit a home run in the opening frame on Thursday night. However, that was the only time the home side had the lead. The Blue Jays took over in the sixth inning, using a five-run frame to turn the tide in their favor.
Matt Scannell signed with the Blue Jays on Friday, according to Sportsnet's Zach Worden. Scannell just completed his final college season, which he played with Wake Forest and put up a .978 OPS.
