Blue Jays Subdue Detroit, 3-1
No one was more impactful than Maake Arnold in the 3-1 Toronto win over Detroit. Arnold, who finished 2nd in the AL in wins above replacement with 7.1 last year, was 2-4 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Picking up the win was Robert Stephenson. He went 6 innings, allowing 1 run on 3 hits. The right--hander struck out 4 and walked 1. C.J. Edwards got the save, his 4th in 5 chances.

Early in the game, Arnold had a 2-run home run for Toronto. It was his 27th home run of the season and put the Blue Jays on top, 3-1.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Arnold told the Toronto Chronicle.

Toronto improves to 85-53 with the win. They lead their division by 8½ games.
