Pittsburgh — Lose three straight games to a Pirates team that is in full rebuild and fighting to avoid triple-digit losses? Miguel Cabrera decided that wasn’t going to happen on his watch.
Cabrera banged out four hits, driving in single runs with his first three, and sparking the Tigers’ 5-1 win over the Pirates in the finale of the three-game set at nearly-empty PNC Park Wednesday night.
Cabrera doubled in a run with two outs in the first inning, singled in another with two outs in the third and ripped a one-out single to score a third run in the fifth.
