					| Byrd Helps Blue Jays Beat Tigers, 7-4 |  
					| The Toronto Blue Jays bested the Detroit Tigers by a score of 7-4, with third baseman Michael Byrd getting the main credit. On the day, Byrd went 1 for 1 with a home run and 3 walks, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 for the Blue Jays. Tim Franco got credit for the save for Toronto. It was his 9th of the year. Toronto, at 109-47, is 15 games up in the American League East Division. 
 Byrd had a key at-bat for Toronto early in the game. With runners on 1st and 3rd, he hit a 3-run  home run. It was his 7th home run of the season and gave Toronto an early 3-0 lead.
 
 "This was a good win for us," said Byrd. "It's one more step toward our ultimate goal."
