## Resource

Max Scherzer returned to the mound for the Blue Jays, tossing five strong innings and nearly passing Justin Verlander on the all-time strikeout list—just one shy. The Tigers, riding a six-game win streak, couldn’t sustain their momentum, falling behind in the wild-card race with just ten games left. Early offense fizzled, defensive lapses handed runs to Toronto, and Keider Montero’s return from paternity leave showed promise but wasn’t enough as the bullpen faltered. Now, Detroit heads to Chicago for a pivotal four-game series against the White Sox—every game could be a lifeline in their playoff chase.
