Raburn's homers and Porcello's pitching help Tigers pound Jays

Baseball Betting Lines

08/29/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rick Porcello spun seven solid innings and Ryan Raburn belted two home runs, finishing with four RBI, as the Detroit Tigers pounded Toronto, 10-4, to salvage a split of a four-game series at Rogers Centre.

Porcello (7-11) allowed only three baserunners on two hits and an error. His lone mistake came in the sixth, when Blue Jays shortstop John McDonald homered with two outs.

Detroit rookie Casper Wells supplied three RBI and Brandon Inge added a two- run homer for the Tigers, who have won seven of their last 10 games.

"It was good to see us come out and jump out (to an early lead)," Inge said. "It's something we need to do. Get some early runs and let our pitches do their thing."

Toronto starting pitcher Marc Rzepczynski (1-3) gave up four runs -- three earned -- on five hits in 5 2/3 innings. Rzepczynski, who was celebrating his 25th birthday on Sunday, struck out a season-high eight batters but walked five to match his career high.

"We did not pitch well. We did not play good defense," said Toronto manager Cito Gaston.

Miguel Cabrera doubled to drive in Will Rhymes and give Detroit a 1-0 lead in the first. The double gave Cabrera 300 total bases this season. He became just the fourth player in club history to eclipse 300 total bases in three straight years, joining Hank Greenberg, Charlie Gehringer and Harry Heilmann.

Wells extended the lead in the second when his two-out single plated Jhonny Peralta, who drew a one-out walk and advanced on a fielding error by Toronto second baseman Aaron Hill.

The Tigers loaded the bases in the sixth and Wells ripped a double to center field to make it a 4-0 game.

Detroit then blew the game open against the Toronto bullpen by scoring three runs in both the seventh and eighth innings.

Raburn went deep off Jesse Carlson to open the seventh and Inge cleared the fence later in the frame.

Brian Tallet replaced Carlson in the next inning and yielded back-to-back singles to Austin Jackson and Rhymes before Raburn crushed a 1-1 offering over the left-field wall.

Adam Lind blasted a three-run homer off Detroit reliever Jose Valverde in the ninth.

Game Notes

Cabrera, who extended his hitting streak to 12 games, leads the majors with 107 RBI...Cabrera has hit safely in 16 of his last 17 games against Toronto...Raburn has hit in 10 consecutive games...The Tigers have recorded at least one home run in 11 straight road games...The Blue Jays lead the majors with 197 home runs...Detroit and Toronto split the eight-game season series.
