The Miami Marlins came from behind to beat the Detroit Tigers at home in a Thursday afternoon MLB game.

Tyler Kinley picked up the win while Matthew Boyd tossed six scoreless innings in a no-decision.

Miguel Cabrera went 2-for-3 and drove in a run for the Tigers.

The Toronto Blue Jays were also on the losing side of things on Thursday afternoon.

Justin Smoak homered in the ninth for the Jays but it wasn't enough to match Steve Pearce's two-run homer as the Red Sox hammered the Jays 8-2 at Rogers Centre.

Sam Gaviglio suffered his first loss for Toronto.
