Reese Olson (1-5) has his first victory since last Sept. 20. Tyler Holton fans pinch-hitter Danny Jansen to finish a 2-1 Tigers win over Blue Jays.
Reese Olson is back out for top7, having shut #Bluejays down on just three hits to this point. There haven't been too many competitive at-bats and only a couple of legitimate opportunities to score. Thanks to Jose Berrios, #Jays are only down 2-0.
It took 32 pitches before Reese Olson got a swing-and-miss. On pitch 33 Kevin Kiermaier, the only lefty in the Jays' lineup, lashed a triple to the RF corner. But Olson K'd Davis Schneider and got Justin Turner on a 5-3. No damage.
