Tigers 12, White Sox 5
Miguel Cabrera connects on a two-run single in the sixth inning. (Charles Rex Arbogast/AP)
By Jason Beck / MLB.com
It looked bad early for the Tigers, after Nate Robertson exited early and the offense was quiet. But Detroit mounted a comeback, highlighted by Miguel Cabrera's four hits and four runs in each of the seventh and eighth innings. The Tigers' division lead over the Twins remains two games and their magic number is seven.
