DETROIT -- Aaron Sanchez looked unbeatable for eight innings. The Detroit Tigers were looking for a spark against the Toronto Blue Jays' 23-year-old right-hander and Jose Iglesias provided it.

Iglesias' leadoff single ignited a two-run rally to force extra innings, and Ian Kinsler's bases-loaded single in the 10th inning completed the comeback as the Tigers won their fifth straight by stunning the Blue Jays 3-2 on Tuesday at Comerica Park.

"Iglesias' hit injected some energy immediately in the dugout," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said.

Kinsler followed with an RBI double, ending Sanchez's brilliant performance. Miguel Cabrera nearly got beaned by closer Roberto Osuna two batters later before drilling the game-tying double.

Kinsler's no-out, bases-loaded bouncer past third baseman Josh Donaldson allowed the Tigers to match their longest winning streak of the season.

"It was the most exciting win of the season," Ausmus said. "I don't know if it's the biggest win but it's the most exciting."

Justin Upton led off the bottom of the 10th with a single up the middle against Joe Biagini (3-2). Jarrod Saltalamacchia walked on a 3-2 pitch. Upton beat the throw to third base on Iglesias' sacrifice bunt, loading the bases.

Kinsler then delivered his eighth career walk-off hit and first of the season.

"We were waiting for our offense to kind of get going at some point in that game," Kinsler said. "(Sanchez) was tough to solve tonight but the key was our pitchers kept us in thh game and allowed us to continue to work to get something going off him. It took until the ninth inning."

Justin Wilson (2-1) got the win with an inning of scoreless relief.

Sanchez limited the Tigers to one hit until the ninth inning and struck out a career-high 12. Sanchez's previous career best was eight against Tampa Bay on April 5. He only allowed a third-inning double by Upton and a sixth-inning walk to Kinsler until the ninth.

He had a strikeout in every inning until the last one, including three apiece against Victor Martinez and Saltalamacchia.

"It's a real tough game to lose," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "He was as good as anybody could be. He shut down a great hitting team."

Kevin Pillar scored both Jays' runs, including a solo homer. Toronto was 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position and left 11 on base.

"We had plenty of chances to pad it," Gibbons said. "We couldn't get it done. They kept it a two-run game. We needed to plate a few more, that's for sure."

Osuna bounced back from giving up Cabrera's double to get two outs. Following an intentional walk, J.D. Martinez struck out and Nick Castellanos grounded out.

The Blue Jays were retired 1-2-3 by Wilson in the extra frame, while Biagini got in trouble from the moment he stepped on the mound.

"It was a beautiful team effort," Iglesias said. "Everybody contributed a little bit. We got a big win tonight."

Pillar's homer was Toronto's only run off Detroit starter Matt Boyd, who gave up three hits in 5 1/3 innings but also walked five while striking out five.

Jose Bautista's fielder's choice groundout in the seventh made it 2-0. Pillar and Darwin Barney had back-to-back singles against reliever Shane Greene to set up the run.

Pillar broke up the scoreless duel on the first pitch of the fifth inning. He sent Boyd's 84-mph hanger over the left-field wall for his third homer of the season.

The Tigers had only one early threat. Upton led off the third with a double off the right-field wall. Sanchez then retired the next three batters on two strikeouts and a groundout.

NOTES: Detroit CF Cameron Maybin did not start. The team had gone 13-7 with Maybin in the lineup since he was activated from the disabled list in May. He's batting .419 with 15 runs scored and was recently elevated to the No. 2 spot. "He really hasn't had a day off," manager Brad Ausmus said. ... Tigers rookie RHP Michael Fulmer, who extended his scoreless streak to 22 1/3 innings in Monday's 11-0 victory, is the first Detroit pitcher since at least 1913 to have three consecutive starts with six or more shutout innings and three or fewer hits allowed. ... The Blue Jays are 11-6 since moving RF Jose Bautista to the leadoff spot. "We're winning, that's the bottom line," manager John Gibbons said. "I still don't view him as a leadoff guy."
