Detroit — Miguel Cabrera hadn’t hit a home run since May 20. He’d gone 103 plate appearances without a dinger.
Drought over.
He blasted a two-run, walk-off blast off Tommy Hunter on Thursday to give the Tigers a 5-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Tigers haven’t gotten many gifts this season. And yet, when they got a timely one in the seventh inning, they gave it back.
Tampa Bay’s shortstop Daniel Robertson, inexplicably, charged hard on a routine ground ball by slow-footed Victor Martinez with a runner at third and two outs in a 2-2 game.
