TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays needed to be in top form with unbeaten starter
Max Scherzer on the mound for Detroit on Wednesday night.

made them pay. Scherzer won his 13th straight decision and Alex Avila hit a
three-run homer as Detroit defeated Toronto 6-2 at Rogers Centre. The Blue Jays
made three errors on the night, leading to five unearned runs. "We definitely
didnt help ourselves there," said Toronto manager John Gibbons. "And like Ive
said before, against the better pitchers if you fall behind like that its an
uphill battle." Scherzer (13-0) allowed seven hits, two earned runs and had
eight strikeouts over 6 1-3 innings. He became the first starting pitcher to
open the season by winning 13 straight decisions since Roger Clemens, who went
14-0 to start the 1986 season with the Boston Red Sox. Torontos Josh Johnson
(1-3) turned in another inconsistent outing and also struggled in the field,
making two errors in the third inning alone. The games key miscue was an error
by second baseman Emilio Bonifacio that led to four unearned runs in the second
inning. That was more than enough offence for Scherzer, who was hit hard a few
times but maintained his steadiness throughout. Victor Martinez chipped in with
a solo homer drove in two runs for Detroit (45-38). Toronto (41-43) fell two
games below the .500 mark with its second straight loss and will need a win
Thursday to salvage a split of the four-game series. Johnson, who returned to
the lineup June 9 after missing seven weeks with right triceps inflammation,
lasted five innings and allowed seven hits, one earned run, two walks and had
five strikeouts. He has pitched five innings or less in five of his 10 starts
this year. "Thats the frustrating thing is Im feeling good and I just want to go
out there and throw some innings for this team and Im not really doing my job,"
Johnson said. The veteran right-hander gave up an infield single to Prince
Fielder in the second inning. Martinez then hit a tailor-made double-play ball
that went through Bonifacios legs and rolled into right field. Jhonny Peralta
followed with a single that scored Fielder with the games first run. Johnson
recorded the next two outs before Avila turned on a 3-2 pitch for his sixth
homer of the year. The Blue Jays threatened in the bottom half but couldnt push
a run across. Mark DeRosa hit a two-out triple and J.P. Arencibia followed with
a blast to centre field that Austin Jackson snagged with a highlight-reel catch
at the top of the wall. In the third, Johnson fumbled a dribbler near the front
of the mound. That allowed Torii Hunter to reach base and he scored on a
Martinez single to make it 5-0. Johnson later mishandled a chopper for his
second error. The Tigers loaded the bases but Jose Bautista prevented any
further damage with a nice running catch on an Omar Infante drive to
right-centre field. Infante had to leave the game in the fourth inning with a
left leg injury after a hard slide by Colby Rasmus on a potential double-play
ball. Gibbons declined comment on the play and the Toronto centre-fielder wasnt
immediately available to discuss it after the game. "Were really mad about that
slide, thats a very dirty play in my book," Scherzer said. "When you watch it on
replay, his spikes are up, hes sliding late. Rajai Davis is running there, hes
going to be safe at first, were most likely not going to turn two there. "Theres
no reason to slide in like that. I feel like he should be suspended." Martinez
padded Detroits lead in the fifth when he smacked a 1-2 pitch over the wall in
right field for his seventh homer of the season. Todd Redmond, who was called up
earlier in the day from triple-A Buffalo, relieved Johnson and gave up a leadoff
single to Jackson. With tension already high after the Rasmus slide, Redmond
then hit Hunter just below the shoulder. The veteran right-fielder had a few
choice words for the Toronto hurler and the benches and bullpens emptied. No
punches were thrown and Hunter eventually walked down to first base. Hunter said
his outburst was nothing against Redmond, he was just emotional because his
teammate had been injured a few minutes earlier. "You take away somebody like
that whos very important to our ball club, Im upset," Hunter said. "You take out
a guy dirty like that, Im upset. The lateness of his slide, the spikes were
high. "It was all wrong." Redmond got out of the jam when Miguel Cabrera lined
out into a double play and Fielder struck out. The Blue Jays got on the board in
the bottom of the sixth inning. Jose Reyes led off with a single and moved to
second on a Bautista single. After an Adam Lind strikeout, Rasmus drove Reyes in
with a single to right field. Rajai Davis struck out and Maicer Izturis drove in
Bautista with a single to left. Scherzer was pulled after giving up a one-out
single to Bonifacio in the seventh inning. Bruce Rondon came on in relief and
got Reyes to pop up and Bautista to hit into a forceout. Redmond, who is
expected to get a start on Sunday, allowed only one hit over three shutout
innings. Toronto reliever Dustin McGowan struck out the side in the ninth.
Joaquin Benoit picked up the final three outs for the Tigers. Notes: X-rays on
Infantes leg were negative. He suffered a shin contusion and will be
re-evaluated Thursday. ... Blue Jays slugger Edwin Encarnacion was given a third
straight day off to rest his sore left hamstring. He remains day to day. ...
