Baltimore — One way to purge the trauma of a 22-inning scoreless stretch is to invoke the healing powers of Miguel Cabrera’s bat.
The Tigers turned matters over not entirely to their Hall of Fame-bound hitter Saturday night at Camden Yards, but they found him to be their best medicine as they said goodbye to three consecutive losses, two of them by shutout, with a bat-booming 9-5 whipping of the Orioles.
Cabrera had a soaring three-run homer onto the patio deck in the second inning, then added a double and single as he finished the night with three hits, five RBIs, and an intentional walk.
