The Toronto Blue Jays will be spending the 4th of July weekend in the Motor City for the Rajai Davis-Anthony Gose/Devon Travis-Ezequiel Carrera tag team grudge match.
The Tigers find themselves at .500 with a 39-39 record after being swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates in a three-game set at Comerica Park. They are six games back of Kansas City for first place in the American League Central. Catcher Alex Avila is expected to return this weekend after being out with a knee injury.
The Jays look to bounce back after a massively disappointing 3-1 series loss to Boston at the Dome. They have sent Matt Boyd back to Triple-A Buffalo after Thursday night's debacle and sent Todd Redmond packing as well. Their 42-39 record at the halfway point of the season leaves them in a second-place tie with Tampa Bay, who are both just one game back of 42-37 Baltimore and the New York Yankees for first in the AL East.
