DETROIT -- Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk was injured after taking a foul ball off his mask in the second inning of Saturday’s game against the Detroit Tigers. Kirk was placed on the seven-day concussion injured list on Sunday.

The Toronto Blue Jays have been on an absolute tear lately, but unfortunately, their All-Star catcher has gone down with injury, as a replacement is recalled.

In the ninth, Bo Bichette broke a scoreless tie in the eighth inning with a two-run single. The Blue Jays added insurance in the ninth inning with three home runs. Nathan Lukes, George Springer, and Vladimir Guerrero all went deep. It was the 18th of the season for Springer.

Tarik Skubal threw 6 scoreless innings (helped by a Matt Vierling web gem) but Tigers hitters mustered two hits in a 6-1 loss.
