Jose Bautista lifts Blue Jays over Tigers in 19th inning

Jose Bautista's single in the 19th inning drove home the winning run as the Blue Jays rallied from a five-run deficit to win the longest game in franchise history, beating the Detroit Tigers, 6-5, yesterday in Toronto.

Munenori Kawasaki singled off Rick Porcello (13-7) to begin the 19th and advanced to third when second baseman Ian Kinsler couldn't field an errant throw from Porcello on Jose Reyes' sacrifice bunt. Melky Cabrera was intentionally walked to load the bases for Bautista, who ended it with a single to right over the drawn-in outfield.

Porcello, who threw 110 pitches over seven innings against the Yankees on Thursday, worked two innings out of the bullpen as the Tigers used eight pitchers. Led by a six-inning stint from Chad Jenkins (1-1), Toronto's bullpen threw 15 2/3 innings of scoreless relief. Toronto also used eight pitchers.

It was the second 19-inning game in as many days -- the Angels beat the Red Sox in 19 on Saturday night.

Toronto had twice played 18 innings, doing it against the Angels on July 28, 2005, and Texas on June 8, 2013.
