Detroit ? After getting their AL championship rings, the Detroit Tigers played like winners for seven innings and then hung on.

Curtis Granderson hit his first career grand slam as Detroit built a nine-run lead Wednesday in a 10-9 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Coming off its first AL pennant since 1984, Detroit lost Monday’s opener, 5-3, in 10 innings. The Tigers chased A.J. Burnett (0-1) early in this one, and Granderson connected off Shaun Marcum for his first homer of the season, capping an eight-run third with a drive that landed on top of the wall in right-center and bounced over.

Granderson also had an RBI triple in the seventh off Victor Zambrano and tied his career high with five RBIs.
