Tigers 5, Rangers 4
DETROIT (AP) - Miguel Cabrera's bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth gave the Detroit Tigers a 5-4 win over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday.
Detroit led 4-3 before Texas tied it in the eighth with a run off reliever Joaquin Benoit. Jose Valverde (1-0) worked a scoreless top of the ninth for the Tigers, and they broke through against Darren O'Day (0-1).
Brandon Inge led off with a single and moved to second on Alex Avila's sacrifice bunt. After two walks sandwiched around a strikeout, Cabrera ended the game with a single through the left side of the infield.
