By AP

TORONTO – Ryan Raburn hit two home runs, Rick Porcello won consecutive starts for the first time this season and the Detroit Tigers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 10-4 Sunday.

Brandon Inge also homered for the Tigers, who have connected in 11 straight road games, hitting 24 home runs in that stretch.

Raburn hit a solo homer off the facing of the second deck in left field against Jesse Carlson in the seventh. He added a three-run shot off Brian Tallet in the eighth. Raburn has 10 homers this year, and it was the fourth multihomer game of his career.
