Lansford Shines in Blue Jays Win
The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Detroit Tigers, 9-2, in United League action at Tiger Stadium, with Toronto second baseman Carney Lansford named player of the game. The save went to Tommy Greene, his 3rd this season. The Tigers fall to 9-14 and continue their uneven start to the 1995 season.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Blue Jays had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the top of the first, when right fielder Ellis Burks hit a 2-run home run. The home run came off Jim Neidlinger and made the score 2-0, Blue Jays. Burks was 2 for 5 with a home run, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Toronto manager Jose Mata.
