DETROIT (AP) \u2014 Daulton Varsho<\/a> drove in the go-ahead run with a single in the 10th inning and Yohendrick Pinango<\/a> homered Saturday to lead the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> to a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Varsho lined a 1-1 pitch from Tigers reliever Tyler Holton<\/a> (0-2) into center field, allowing Vladimir Guerrero to score.<\/p>\n

Blue Jays reliever Louis Varland<\/a> (2-1) pitched the final two innings, allowing two hits and striking out two. Toronto used six pitchers who struck out 14.<\/p>\n

The Tigers, who were 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position, had a chance to win it in the ninth inning with Riley Greene<\/a> on third and two outs, but Varland struck out Colt Keith<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first five innings turned into a showcase of pitching and defense, with both teams turning in highlight-reel defensive plays. Toronto third baseman Kazuma Okamoto<\/a> bobbled a catch in foul territory before recovering to snag the ball barehanded for a remarkable out.<\/p>\n

Greene later raced toward the line and made a sliding grab on a foul ball, preserving the scoreless duel as neither offense could break through early.<\/p>\n

The Tigers threatened in the third when they loaded the bases with two outs, but Spencer Miles<\/a> struck out Gage Workman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Detroit got on the board in the sixth when Matt Vierling<\/a> homered to left field.<\/p>\n

Pinango evened the game at 1 in the seventh when he hit his first home run of the season on reliever Kyle Finnegan<\/a>\u2019s first pitch in the game. <\/p>\n

Tigers starter Casey Mize<\/a> allowed two hits and struck out four over six innings. Mize returned from the injured list Saturday, his first outing since leaving an April 28 game against Atlanta with a right adductor strain. <\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Tigers RHP Jack Flaherty<\/a> (0-4, 5.73 ERA) was set to start Sunday against RHP Kevin Gausman<\/a> (2-3, 3.86).<\/p>\n
