Toronto single-happy
Photos
Blue Jays 7, Tigers 2
Matt Stairs drove in his 41st run of the year with a single in the fourth. (AP)
It took the Jays only four innings to equal their total offensive output from their weekend series. Rod Barajas hit a solo homer, but the Jays primarily took advantage of many well-timed singles and sacrifice flies. Shaun Marcum tossed his second straight quality start for the win.
