Tigers 4, Royals 2
The Detroit Tigers were overmatched at the plate, allowing Kyle Davies to be perfect through four innings.
Then, Miguel Cabrera stepped up to lead the way. Again.
Cabrera's leadoff single started a three-run fifth inning and Detroit held on to beat the Kansas City Royals 4-2 on Wednesday.
"Without him, we are probably in the cellar in our division," teammate Johnny Damon said. "That's how good he is."
The third-place Tigers, 15 games ahead of the last-place Royals in the AL Central, are hoping to make up a few games over the last two weeks of the season to finish behind only the division champion Minnesota Twins.
