Rick Porcello picked up his seventh victory, rookie outfielder Casper Wells had two hits and drove in three runs and Ryan Raburn homered twice as youth served the Detroit Tigers well Sunday in a 10-4 victory against Toronto.

Wells has three doubles and seven RBIs in 21 at-bats.

"I can't look at it like, 'Maybe I'm a step closer to securing a job next year,’ ” Wells said. “I am just trying to get comfortable in the major leagues. I'm just treating it like I'm playing for another team. I am taking the same approach, the same at-bats. And hopefully they are good enough to help this team win."

Porcello (7-11) struck out four and didn't walk a batter in seven innings of work. Sunday's other news? Tigers manager Jim Leyland says he'd like to manage in Detroit beyond 2011.
