TORONTO -- The Detroit Tigers had a bad start to their four-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays as a depleted bullpen turned a 4-2 lead into a 5-4 loss on Thursday.Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays can chirp happily about a six-game winning streak as they strive to go into the All-Star break on a high note.The Tigers bullpen was without right-hander Bruce Rondon, who was sent back to the hotel during batting practice Thursday with the flu.The Tigers can only hope for a quick recovery as they send out right-hander Mike Pelfrey (2-7, 4.78 ERA) against Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ (11-3, 3.54 ERA) on Friday in the second game of the series.Rondons absence meant that left-hander Justin Wilson stayed in for some of the tough Toronto right-handed bats in the eighth and he wound up with the loss after giving up three hits, one walk and two runs in 1 1/3 innings.Right-hander Alex Wilson came in and gave up the two-run single to Troy Tulowitzki that provided the winning margin.Hes been sick for a couple of days, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. He was sick on the plane last night, too....We were short. Thats why we were kind of stretching (Shane Greene) and Justin (Wilson) both, trying to get through. I think at the end, really, Justin was kind of out of gas, so we went to Alex (Wilson).He said he did not want to use closer Francisco Rodriguez for four outs.The Tigers also have problems with their rotation going into the break. Ausmus still would not say who would start the games Saturday and Sunday. Daniel Norris and Jordan Zimmermann are on the disabled list.The Blue Jays meanwhile have their rotation set going into the break even though all-star Marco Estrada was put on the disabled list Wednesday and missed his start Thursday, which they overcame with a decent spot start by Drew Hutchison.The Blue Jays have been winning games in a variety of ways. Thats how winning streaks start, thats how they continue, is its a different guy every night Tulowitzki said. Get good pitching, play good defense, mixed in with some timely hitting. I think its the recipe youll hear teams talk about when theyre on a winning streak.The Tigers are still 5-3 on the road trip that takes them into the break. The swept four games from the Rays at Tampa Bay and lost two of three to the Indians in Cleveland before coming to Toronto.The Blue Jays would seem to have the advantage in the starting rotation for the final three games.Happ is having an excellent season. In his past five starts, he is 5-0 with a 3.48 ERA. In six career games, including five starts, against the Detroit Tigers, he is 1-1 with a 4.83 ERA. He will be followed in the rotation by Aaron Sanchez and R.A. Dickey.Pelfrey is a ground-ball pitcher and has induced 18 double-play grounders, second in the American League. He tied for the major league lead in 2015 with 29 double-play grounders. The Blue Jays entered Thursday having grounded into 80 double plays, tied for the most in the AL. They did not hit into any on Thursday.Pelfrey is 1-1 with a 4.96 ERA in three career starts against the Blue Jays. In his most recent start against Toronto, April 17, 2014, His only start at Rogers Centre was July 6, 2013, when he pitched six shutout innings to earn the win. Stitched Rockies Jerseys .
