Blue Jays Take Tight Tilt, 4-3
Spirited fans at Tiger Stadium greeted the Detroit Tigers for their clash with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Toronto Blue Jays starter John Smiley pitched a strong game against the Detroit Tigers at Tiger Stadium, leading the Blue Jays to a 4-3 win. The Blue Jays have an impressive 25-14 record.

One of the biggest contributors for Toronto was left fielder Orestes Kindelán. In the top of the first, with a runner on 1st, Kindelán got a full count fastball and hit a 2-run home run. That put the Blue Jays on top, 2-0.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Kindelán said.
