DETROIT — Colt Keith hit his first major league home run and Kenta Maeda threw five scoreless innings in his return to help the Detroit Tigers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-2 and snap a season-high, five-game losing streak. Keith turned on a full-count, two-out pitch off Alek Manoah in the second inning.
