The Tigers had their winning streak snapped tonight against the Toronto Blue Jays, 4-2, and a big reason for that was the cooling of Victor Martinez's scorching hot bat, which turned in an 0-for-4 tonight. In the first inning, Martinez -- who has seemingly gotten a hit in every at bat since coming off the DL, especially with runners in scoring position -- grounded into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded. Martinez left two more runners on base in his other three outs.
↵Earlier today, Martinez was named the American League Player of the Week, during which he hit an AL-leading .579/.652/1.757 (11-for-19) with four doubles, two home runs, four walks and 11 RBIs.
