The Detroit Tigers refused to lose another high-scoring game.
The offense as a whole remained locked in, just like in Monday's 7-6 loss, but this time, the Tigers fended off the Chicago Cubs late in Tuesday's 8-6 win in the second of three games at Comerica Park.
Second baseman Andy Ibáñez, who finished 2-for-3 with one walk, logged the first multi-home run performance of his career, launching both homers to left off Cubs left-hander Drew Smyly.

Ibáñez cranked a solo homer in the first inning for a 1-0 lead and a three-run home run in the fourth for a 7-4 lead, his first homers since July 23.
