DETROIT (AP) — Miguel Cabrera blasted his 505th career home run, Tarik Skubal equaled his career high with 11 strikeouts, and the Detroit Tigers completed their first series sweep this season by defeating the Baltimore Orioles 5-1 on Sunday.
Cabrera had two hits, scored two runs and knocked in two more for the Tigers, who have won three straight. Harold Castro added three hits, a run scored and two RBIs.
Cabrera has a six-game hitting streak, batting .500 in that span.
“Clearly, he’s been a spark for us,” said manager A.J. Hinch, who celebrated his 48th birthday.
