Toronto got a first-rate effort from pitcher Melido Perez, who frustrated Detroit hitters en route to a 3-1 Blue Jays triumph at Tiger Stadium. Steve Shirley notched his 11th save in 12 chances. Toronto has now won 3 in a row.

Toronto relied on the bat of Darrin Fletcher to get the win. The catcher ripped a solo home run in the top of the second inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 2-0. For the game, Fletcher had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"I really like what we did out there today," Fletcher said after the game.
