Varland's Error Dooms Blue Jays | Detroit Tigers News

The Blue Jays’ playoff hopes hang by a thread after a heartbreaker against the Tigers, derailed by a costly error from closer Louis Varland in the ninth. With a runner on second and one out, Guerrero Jr.’s throw to first was well-placed but Varland missed it, letting the go-ahead run score. Despite Jose Soriano’s stellar no-hitter into the seventh — broken up by four Tigers runs — Toronto couldn’t recover, falling 6-5. Manager John Schneider called it a tough, messy play, acknowledging the difficulty of first-to-pitch transfers. The series continues tonight — another chance to right the ship before Wednesday’s finale. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
