Blue Jays Announce Alejandro Kirk News After Leaving Tigers Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Toronto Blue Jays have sole possession of the AL's best record, and it's partially because of catcher Alejandro Kirk's breakout campaign. The 26-year-old is slashing .304/.361/.413 with seven homers and 47 RBIs over 88 games.

Jack Flaherty pitched six scoreless innings, Gleyer Torres hit a three-run homer and the Detroit Tigers ended a six-game losing streak with a 10-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays

Despite the loss, Scherzer still delivered seven quality innings and struck out eleven batters. Manager John Schneider added via Keegan Matheson, “The Thumb-O-Meter is good right now,” referencing the injury that cost Scherzer most of the first half. Scherzer also acknowledged that his pitch count reaching 96 was a good sign.
