Blue Jays Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Tigers
The Blue Jays had to overcome a fine performance from Detroit pitcher Vaughn Eshelman to grab a 6-3 win at Tiger Stadium. Eshelman allowed no earned runs over 7 innings. Reliever German Jimenez picked up the win. His record improves to 2-3. Rigo Beltran took the loss. The Tigers, now 13-23, have lost 5 in a row.

With two out in the top of the fifth, Derek Jeter hit a go-ahead 2-run home run. It was his 6th home run of the season and with it the Blue Jays took a 2-0 lead.

Jeter told a Toronto Observer reporter that he was "more than satisfied" with the win.
