Tigers 7, Cardinals 4
JUPITER, Fla. (AP) - Miguel Cabrera went 2 for 3 with a home run and two RBIs on Friday, leading Detroit to a 7-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in a spring training game Friday.
It was Cabrera's first game since fresh details came out this week regarding his February arrest on suspicion of drunken driving.
Cabrera smacked the first pitch he saw over leaping Cardinals right fielder Allen Craig for an RBI double. In his next at-bat, Cabrera belted an opposite field home run, his first this spring.
Detroit starter Phil Coke shut out the Cardinals for four innings. Lance Lynn gave up two runs on three hits in two innings of work for St. Louis, whose pitchers surrendered 14 walks.
Lynn, who is looking to fill the spot of injured ace Adam Wainwright, started in Chris Carpenter's spot in the rotation.
