DETROIT -- Jhonny Peralta hit a tiebreaking triple in the eighth inning and Victor Martinez drove in two runs, leading the Detroit Tigers past the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 on Monday night.

Max Scherzer struck out nine over seven strong innings and the AL Central leaders won their third straight, snapping Toronto's three-game winning streak.

In the makeup of a May 17 rainout, Tigers manager Jim Leyland was ejected in the seventh after a long argument that included a mocking impersonation of first base umpire Ed Rapuano changing his all on a close play.
