Vladimir Guerrero Jr. launched a solo home run to back a dominant start from Kevin Gausman, leading the Toronto Blue Jays to a 4-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday.
Guerrero's blast came in the first inning, setting the tone for the Blue Jays' offense. Gausman was sharp throughout, allowing just one run on five hits over seven innings while striking out eight and walking none. The right-hander improved to 5-2 on the season.
The Blue Jays added insurance runs in the later innings, capitalizing on timely hitting and aggressive baserunning. Toronto's bullpen held the Tigers scoreless over the final two frames to secure the win.
Detroit's lone run came on a solo homer by Riley Greene in the fourth inning. Tigers starter Casey Mize took the loss, surrendering three runs over six innings.
The win snaps a two-game losing streak for Toronto and improves their record to 24-18. The Blue Jays will look to build momentum as they continue their road trip.
