(Sports Network) - The Toronto Blue Jays, in the midst of a three-game losing streak, will send Aaron Laffey to the mound against the Detroit Tigers who will counter with Anibal Sanchez. Cheap NFL Jerseys . Laffey lost for the third time in four starts on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox. Laffey, who is 3-4 with a 4.70 ERA overall, has allowed eight homers over his last five starts while going 1-3 with a 7.39 ERA. "I just worry about myself and in the end, go back and take the positives from (the last) game," Laffey said. "Obviously, the three mistakes (Thursday) that I made, theres nothing you can really do about those, you cant take them back. So, just move on." Laffey has faced the Tigers eight times (4 starts) and is 0-2 with a 3.58 ERA. Detroit drew first blood in Tuesdays opener, as Max Scherzer tossed seven effective innings and the Tigers offense took advantage of Ricky Romeros wildness to earn a 5-3 victory. The only costly mistake made by Scherzer (13-6) came in the sixth when he served up a solo homer to Edwin Encarnacion. The right-hander was otherwise stellar, allowing just four more hits and two walks while fanning eight. Omar Infante drove in a pair for Detroit, which survived a shaky effort from its bullpen to snap a two-game losing streak. The Tigers still trail the Chicago White Sox by two games in the AL Central. Romero (8-11) walked eight in only 5 1/3 innings and was charged with five runs and seven hits in Torontos third straight loss. "I feel like Im the one that lost the game," Romero said. "Its baffling. Its tough. I dont know how to put it. Its just been a frustrating year." Sanchez has not panned out for the Tigers since being acquired from Miami prior to the trade deadline. The righty is just 1-3 in four starts since coming to Detroit and has pitched to a 7.97 ERA. "(I told him), Dont press," Tigers pitching coach Jeff Jones told the teams website. "Dont try to do more than what you can. I told him yesterday, Youre going to be huge for us down the stretch. Youve been successful, and youre going to be successful again." Sanchezs latest loss came on Aug. 13 in Minnesota, as the Twins reached him for five runs and 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings. Overall, he is 6-10 with a 4.52 ERA. "Hes not keeping the ball down well enough," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "I certainly know that hes a better pitcher than hes shown so far." Sanchez lost to Toronto in his first start with the Tigers and is 0-2 in two starts against them and has surrendered 11 runs in 9 1/3 innings. Detroit has split its four matchups with the Blue Jays this season. cheap stitched jerseys .
