    Kyle Drabek didn't take the time to visit a lifelong friend Monday.

    He beat him on the baseball field instead.

    "I didn't get a chance to talk to [Detroit Tigers manager] Jim [Leyland] today -- I figured I'd wait until tomorrow for that," Drabek said. "I'll be curious to hear what he thought of my game tonight. He's been in this game for a long time, and I've known him all my life."

    Leyland, not surprisingly, was impressed.

    "He's got really outstanding stuff," he said of Drabek, who he remembers as a toddler. "His control isn't as good as his dad's, but he throws a little harder. We had him on the hook in the first inning, but let him get out of it, and he really picked it up from there."

    The win snapped Detroit's winning streak at seven games and extended Toronto's to six.
