TORONTO — The Detroit Tigers will start a former Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Saturday afternoon for the second game in a row in another attempt to end a losing streak that has reached 10 games.

Former Blue Jays left-hander Francisco Liriano could not do the job Friday night — allowing three runs in six innings — as the Blue Jays defeated the Tigers 3-2 in the opener of a four-game series at the Rogers Centre.

This time L.J. Collier Jersey , the former Blue Jay is Matt Boyd (4-6, 4.15 ERA), who will face Toronto right-hander Sam Gaviglio (2-2, 3.98) in the second game of the series.

The Tigers (36-47), who are 13-26 on the road, have lost 10 games in a row for the first time since Sept. 13-22, 2003, the season in which they lost 119 games.

“We had some opportunities, but it’s the same story,” Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said. “You pitch really good and you don’t score, or you don’t pitch good enough and it just extends on. The guys are really trying Marquise Blair Jersey , they’re bothered out there and they’re frustrated. They want to win, the guys are really pushing hard in the dugout, but it’s just not happening right now.”

The Tigers have lost 11 of their past 13 games in Toronto.

The Blue Jays (38-43), who were returning from a 3-4 road trip that easily could have been better, have won nine of their past 10 home games. They are 21-20 at home.

Boyd took the loss Sunday at Cleveland when he allowed six runs, eight hits and two walks while striking out five in three innings.

The start Saturday will be his 16th of the season.

In four career starts against the Blue Jays, Boyd is 0-1 with a 4.24 ERA. He did not factor in the decision June 2 against Toronto at Comerica Park when he gave up four runs, six hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out three.

Boyd, who was sent to the Tigers July 30, 2015, as part of the trade that sent David Price to the Blue Jays D.K. Metcalf Jersey , is 0-3 with an 8.66 ERA in four career starts at the Rogers Centre.

Gaviglio will be making his 10th appearance and eighth start of the season.

In his past three starts, he is 0-1 with a 7.50 ERA and has pitched only 12 innings.

He has faced the Tigers once in his career, allowing two runs in five innings in a no decision.

The Tigers have been outscored 64-26 during their losing streak.

Before the game Friday, the Blue Jays selected the contract of utility player Darnell Sweeney from Triple-A Buffalo. He was batting .232 with six homers and 21 RBIs in 47 games. He has played all infield positions except first base, both corner outfield positions and also pitched a scoreless inning.

Sweeney takes the roster spot of outfielder Steve Pearce, who was traded Thursday night to the Boston Red Sox for shortstop Santiago Espinal, who will play at Class A Dunedin.

Moving Pearce means that Kendrys Morales will again see regular use as the designated hitter and breaks up a logjam in the outfield. The Blue Jays return to four outfielders with Teoscar Hernandez, Randal Grichuk, Kevin Pillar and Curtis Granderson.

Espinal, 23, batted .313 with seven homers and 32 RBIs in 65 games with Class A Salem in the Red Sox organization.

“Middle-of-the-diamond players Cody Barton Jersey , you can’t have enough of them,” Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Friday. “The athleticism, that’s where it all begins. If you can play in the middle, you can often play anywhere else, so that’s first and foremost. (Espinal) is an above-average runner and performing well at a decent level, so there’s plenty to like.”

With another year of NFL in the books, the behemoths of the gridiron have added a new chapter to the NFL's book of devastating hits and ridiculous plays. Many football fans watch the game for its physical aspect, hoping to see a competition involving strong, determined beasts manhandling each other. Due to the intervention of a few bureaucrats in response to some lawsuits however, hitting is nearly illegal in the NFL.Looking at it honestly, hits occur in American football in the form of a block or a tackle and while it is all well and good to disallow some forms of tackling http://www.cardinalsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-zach-allen-jersey , these new rules regarding hits to the head and "defenseless" receivers who aren't actually defenseless are causing problems for the watch-ability of the game. It now seems like the refs are paid per flag (especially with the new rules regulating contact with receivers) and hits that used to be known as good entertainment are now enough to have a player publicly shamed. In short, the game is still great, but some rules are hampering the product.With that said, much like illegal substances, robbery, and bestiality, you can make them illegal, but people will still do it, and that is what is happening with big hits. Players are being fined a few thousand dollars (peanuts) and the hits have kept coming but now they are accompanied by flags and fines. Has the game changed monumentally? No, but what has been gained in player safety (next to nothing) has been viciously stripped from the entertainment value. My moping and complaining aside, however Gary Jennings Jr. Jersey , the game has gone on and the hits, when they happen, are still devastating, and should continue to be. With that in mind, here is a rundown of twenty of the NFL's greatest hitters of all time. Time has been taken to include players from decades past but if your personal favorite is not present, angrily belch his name into the comments section, you mighty Sunday afternoon couch-bound warrior, you!*All stats taken from Pro-Football-Reference.com
