Blue Jays’ Soriano untouchable until tenacious Tigers figure him out, rally to win 6-5
Jose Soriano was flirting with history for seven innings, but then he hit a wall. Soriano pitched a perfect game for 5 1/3 innings and had a no-hitter going for another inning before giving up four runs and getting the hook as his Toronto Blue Jays eventually fell to the Detroit Tigers 6-5 on Monday.

Soriano's perfect game for the Toronto Blue Jays came to an abrupt end against the Detroit Tigers in a 6-5 loss on Monday. The pitcher had been pitching flawlessly for 5 1/3 innings before surrendering four runs and allowing five hits in 6 1/3 innings. Tigers batters proved too much for Soriano as he struggled to maintain his no-hit bid later in the game.
Zach McKinstry's walk with one out in the sixth inning and Gleyber Torres' leadoff single in the seventh inning were pivotal moments that led to Detroit's rally. Dillon Dingler's RBI single and Max Clark's two-run double in the seventh inning extended the Blue Jays' lead to 4-2. Jose Soriano acknowledged that facing the same lineup for the third time presented challenges, but he credited the hitters for their performance.
The Blue Jays now find themselves a game behind the Cleveland Guardians for the final wild-card spot in the American League.
