TORONTO -- On a night the Blue Jays left 14 runners on base, Troy Tulowitzki did his part to cash some in.Tulowitzki drove in the tying and go-ahead runs with a bases-loaded single in the eighth inning, and the Blue Jays rallied to beat the Detroit Tigers 5-4 on Thursday night for their season-best sixth straight victory.I didnt realize till after the game how many runners left on base we had, Tulowitzki said. Sooner or later with this lineup you feel very strong that someone is going to come through.Tulowitzki finished 2 for 4 with a walk and three RBI. He is batting .338 (22 for 65) with 20 RBI in 17 games since returning June 18 after missing 20 games with a sore right quadriceps.Since hes come off the DL, hes been swinging a very hot bat, Tigers catcher James McCann said.

Thats why we were kind of stretching Shane and Justin both, trying to get through. I think at the end, really, Justin was kind of out of gas, so we went to Alex.Nick Castellanos and Justin Upton hit solo home runs for the Tigers.Toronto jumped on Detroit starter Justin Verlander in the first, scoring twice with two outs. Michael Saunders hit an RBI single and Russell Martin followed with a double.Upton halved the deficit with a two-out homer off Drew Hutchison in the second, and Castellanos tied it with a one-out drive in the fourth.It was the second homer in two games for Castellanos, extending his career high to 17.Upton followed with a double and scored on a two-out single by McCann, who was thrown out trying to stretch his hit into a double.Verlander allowed two runs and five hits in 5 2/3 innings. He walked a season-high four and struck out five.It was a battle, Verlander said. Those guys, one through nine, really fought me.Making his second start of the season in place of injured right-hander Marco Estrada (back), Hutchison allowed three runs and six hits in six innings.SANCHEZ COMES UP SHORTNed Yost selected Indians RHP Corey Kluber to replace injured Estrada on the AL All-Star team. Yost said Wednesday that Toronto RHP Aaron Sanchez was among the candidates.GREAT WHITE NORTHMcCann said hot, humid conditions made it a draining night behind the plate, poking fun at Canadas reputation for cool weather.

Questions abounded about whether both Love and the Cavs would be better off trading him away.Love says that noise still exists; he just has learned to block it out.Theyll never be gone, Love said Friday when asked about the critics. Thats just something that you live with. We have so much hype and media and the good and the bad surrounding this team and it just comes with the territory.So, I love this team, love the coaching staff, my teammates, the organization. I mean, I dont think it will ever leave but frankly, I dont really give a s---.Cavs fans last saw Love on the court locking up two-time MVP Stephen Curry on the perimeter in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, as Curry missed what would have been a game-tying 3-pointer with 30 seconds left had it gone down.The Stop, as its affectionately been dubbed in Northeast Ohio, was followed in short order by Love becoming the first player to embrace James after the final buzzer, as tears ran down James face.Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue, who Love credited for opening up his game with a well-timed speech in front of the team late in the regular season, said hes seen a shift in his power forwards mentality during camp.It looks like the monkey is off his back because we won a championship, Lue said. Going through it last year, winning a championship and being a big part of what we do (was big for him). Those first three rounds he was unbelievable. I thought LeBron did a great job of letting Kyrie and Kevin really emerge in the playoffs those first three rounds. They got all the confidence in the world and it was big. Now we have to keep building from there.James says any change in Loves demeanor is just the medias misperception.Hes the same Kev to me, James said. Maybe hes different to you guys because you guys bring up that notion (of howw he fits in), no one wants to hear that right now.dddddddddddd. Hes a huge piece to our team, hes one of our Big Three, and when we all perform well, you see what happens. You see in Game 7 when we all came to play, played at a high level, so we was able to bring that home.But, you know, he looks unbelievable, hes in shape. Not that hes ever been out of shape, but hes in great form shooting the ball extremely well, great command of what were doing, hes a good leader for our team.Love came into camp with a more sculpted physique than in the past, having spent the summer working out with Cavs training staff members in both Park City, Utah, and Los Angeles. While he was getting his body right for the season, trade rumors persisted.Did he hear them?Trade rumors, you know, I dont know, an apoplectic Love said. You lose a couple games ... No, I dont know how to answer that. No. Im here, man. I plan on being here a very long time.Despite the Cavs winning it all, Loves numbers did dip from 16 points and 9.9 rebounds in the regular season to 14.7 points and 8.8 rebounds in the postseason. He was benched in the fourth quarter of both Games 3 and 4 of the Eastern Conference finals and missed Game 3 of the Finals completely because of a concussion.Yet Lue says Loves impact was clear.Yall keep asking the same question, Lue said. Its sacrifice. When you have three great players, everybody is not going to have the ball and have the same numbers they had on other teams. Its like when Chris Bosh went to Miami. Thats how weve got to treat Kevin. Its the same way. That dont mean hes not a great player, it means hes the one whos got to sacrifice. To win you have to do that.Love wants to keep on winning. The championship might have steeled him, but it didnt satisfy.Of course hanging a banner is huge for us and I shook all of your guys hands at the parade, it was an amazing time, Love said, but now its back to work and well do it all over again. So, lets go to work. ' ' '
