Daulton Varsho

Guerrero Jr. put the Blue Jays on the board with a base hit in the first inning to score Spencer Horwitz from second. He then took Zach Elfin deep for a solo homer in the third, his fifth homer in his last six games. Guerrero Jr. was later intentionally walked in the eighth and scored on a base hit by Daulton Varsho. The 25-year-old slugger is slashing .296/.367/.488 with 18 homers, 52 runs scored, and 62 RBI across 436 plate appearances.

Tigers' closer Jason Foley was called upon to put out a fire in the eighth inning, so it was Holton who was entrusted the ninth to face the bottom of the Jays' lineup. The 28-year-old southpaw made it look easy in this one, getting Daulton Varsho on a ground ball to second, Alejandro Kirk on a fly ball to left and Ernie Clement on a comebacker to end it. On the season, Holton has compiled a 3.29 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and a 39/11 K/BB ratio over 52 innings to go with four wins and three saves.

The right-hander walked one and struck out just one batter in the ballgame. The Blue Jays had scratched out just an unearned run against him through the first three frames, but the wheels fell off for Gallen in the fourth inning. There, the Jays' scored on run-scoring singles by Daulton Varsho and Ernie Clement before they opened it up with a grand slam off the bat of Kevin Kiermaier. Gallen got just four swings and misses on 70 pitches in the game, registering a CSW of 26 percent. He finishes his first half with a 6-5 record, 3.87 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and a 76/21 K/BB ratio over 76 2/3 innings in his 15 starts.

The dynamic 28-year-old outfielder was pulled from Wednesday's gam due to a left knee contusion and was held out of the Blue Jays' starting lineup on Thursday. It appears to have been only a minor issue though as he's right back out there in left field and will bat fifth against Ryne Nelson and the Diamondbacks on Friday evening in Arizona.

Varsho (knee) is batting fifth and playing left field Friday against the Diamondbacks.
