MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Miguel Cabrera became the first player in Tigers history to reach 30 home runs in five straight seasons and Max Scherzer threw seven scoreless innings for Detroit in a 5-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. Cabrera also singled in the fifth off Cole De Vries (2-4) to push his majors-leading total to 103 RBIs. His opposite-field solo shot in the first inning put the Tigers in front, and Scherzer (12-6) struck out 10 batters to move ahead of teammate Justin Verlander for the AL lead for at least a few days. Delmon Young added a two-run homer against his former team. The Tigers began the day two games behind Chicago in the AL Central, with seven contests remaining between them this season.

Mike Trout's Potential MVP Win Shouldn't Detract Attention From Miguel Cabrera's Ongoing Greatness

Tigers manager Jim Leyland insisted last week that Miguel Cabrera's MVP candidacy will be hurt by a certain "Wonderboy." He's right, but that shouldn't stop us from recognizing the greatness that Cabrera continues to show. Granted, Cabrera has never been and never will be an elite defender, especially since he willingly made a leap across the diamond to play...

Detroit Tigers right-hander Max Scherzer has had these streaks before. It's just that this one looks as if it could be a little more permanent. Scherzer struck out 10 Wednesday to improve to 6-1 in nine starts beginning June 28. He has tied Justin Verlander for the team lead in wins with 12. In the past, Scherzer has struggled to limit the damage in one inning. The game frequently...

Max Scherzer was dominant yet again Wednesday afternoon improving to 6-1 with a 3.36 ERA in his last nine starts and reached double-digit strikeouts for the fourth time this year.

Detroit Tigers, 62-55, 2nd place, 2 back. Doug Fister didn’t disappoint, and despite a carnival of a 3rd inning, and Gene Lamont being A Great 3rd Base Coach, the Tigers ended their 3-game losing streak.  Cabrera reached the century mark in RBIs, and Dirks hit one out, which I’m still trying to figure out, because both he and the pitcher are lefties, and I didn’t think that...

Melky Cabrera.  Melky.  Cabrera.  Dude.  What the hell, man?  What the hell were you thinking? What a horrible, stupid, immature, and unforgivable mistake.  To test positive for "PE"Ds is one thing, but to do so as the 2nd best hitter on a probable playoff team is quite another.  It's a mistake that could wind up sinking the Giants' season and Melky'...
