Late Rally by Blue Jays Secures Win
Toronto Blue Jays starter Eric King was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Detroit Tigers, 4-2. The Blue Jays move to 70-65 with the win, while the Tigers drop to 55-80.

Toronto took a 3-2 lead on Alex Gonzalez's 41st hit of the season. The run-scoring single, which Gonzalez hit in the top of the ninth, left Detroit pitcher Danny Graves visibly frustrated.

"We'll savor this win," King told the Toronto Herald, "then get ready for the next game."
