Blue Jays hit 3 HRs in 5-3 win over Tigers

Published August 28, 2015

TORONTO (AP) Josh Donaldson and Troy Tulowitzki hit back-to-back home runs, Jose Bautista also connected and the Toronto Blue Jays won for the eighth time in 10 games, beating the Detroit Tigers 5-3 on Friday night.

Ian Kinsler and Anthony Gose homered for the slumping Tigers, who have lost seven of eight.

R.A. Dickey (9-10) pitched 6 2/3 innings to win his sixth straight decision as the AL East-leading Blue Jays improved to 19-5 in August. Toronto has won 22 of its past 28.

Dickey left after Gose's two-out homer in the seventh. Mark Lowe came on and struck out Davis.

Aaron Sanchez worked the eighth and Roberto Osuna struck out the side in the ninth for his 16th save.

All three Blue Jays homers came off rookie Matt Boyd (1-5), one of the three left-handed pitchers acquired by Detroit in the July 30 trade that sent David Price to Toronto.
