Toronto 7, Tigers 4

TORONTO (WWJ/AP) - The Tigers rallied in the ninth for three runs but fell short in their  7-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night.

 Adam Lind homered and drove in two runs, Jesse Litsch struck out a career-high nine to help the Blue Jays beat the Detroit.

Lind had an RBI single off Phil Coke (1-5) during a three-run first and added a solo drive to center in the eighth, his seventh of the season.

Toronto's first baseman extended his hitting streak to 11 games and is batting .477 (21 for 44) over that span.

Lind, who came in tied with three other players for the AL RBI lead, went 2 for 5 as the Blue Jays collected a season-high 15 hits. Lind has 27 RBIs.

Litsch (3-2) won for the second time in three starts since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on April 25. The right- hander allowed one run and four hits in 6 1-3 innings and walked three.
