DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers did a lot of their best work simply by leaving their bats on their shoulders. Detroit took advantage of Ricky Romeros wildness Tuesday night in a 5-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. The Tigers scored their first two runs on bases-loaded walks, and although they never really broke the game open with a big hit, they did enough to keep pace in the AL Central race. Detroit still trails the first-place Chicago White Sox by two games. "This ones in the book, you turn the page," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "Thats what weve got to do now -- 40 of them left -- got to just play it out and see what happens." Max Scherzer struck out eight in seven impressive innings for Detroit. Romero (8-11) lost his 10th straight decision, allowing five runs, seven hits and eight walks in 5 1-3 innings. He didnt strike out a batter. Austin Jackson had three hits. Scherzer (13-6) allowed five hits, including Edwin Encarnacions solo homer. He walked two. "I know that when I go out there, I know I can be really good," Scherzer said. "I know I can pitch consistently and I know I can get hitters out. I dont fear a single hitter in this whole league. When I bring my A game and I bring my game, I can pitch well against any team -- doesnt matter who it is." Detroit needed three relievers to get through the eighth, when the Blue Jays scored two runs. Jose Valverde then pitched the ninth for his 24th save in 28 chances. Valverde allowed two baserunners but eventually struck out Encarnacion to end it. Romero walked six in the first two innings. "I feel like Im the one that lost the game," Romero said. "Its baffling. Its tough. I dont know how to put it. Its just been a frustrating year." Romero is 0-10 with a 7.69 ERA in his last 11 starts. He was in trouble right away in the first inning on Tuesday, whenn Jackson reached on an infield single and went to second on third baseman Omar Vizquels throwing error. Cheap NFL Jerseys China. . With two outs and a man on third, Romero walked Prince Fielder, Jhonny Peralta and Delmon Young to give Detroit the lead. In the second, Romero walked Omar Infante with the bases loaded, and Miguel Cabrera followed with a double-play grounder that brought home another run to make it 3-0. "Thats tough when you see a guy missing by that much and youre trying to hit against it," Leyland said. "Youre saying, Well, hes wild, I dont want to swing at something bad. Then all of a sudden he throws one that looks good and it runs in on you. Thats what happened a couple times." Encarnacion hit his 32nd homer in the sixth, and at that point, Romero hadnt allowed a walk or a run since the second. But he couldnt keep it up, giving up a walk to Jeff Baker, a single to Andy Dirks and another walk to Gerald Laird to load the bases. After Jackson hit into a forceout at the plate, Infante hit a grounder to first baseman David Cooper, who hesitated and ended up not getting any out at all. Romero left the game after that, and Cabrera added a sacrifice fly off Brad Lincoln to make it 5-1. Toronto fought back in the eighth with an RBI double by Cooper and a run-scoring single by Yunel Escobar. Joaquin Benoit came on with two on and two outs and threw only one pitch, retiring Vizquel on a popup to end the threat.
