Before Thursday night's game, Jonathan Schoop said that he and Miguel Cabrera, who sat out Wednesday's 17-run offensive outburst in Minnesota, would deliver everything they would have done had they played Wednesday in Thursday night's game.
Apparently, Schoop was not joking.
Schoop provided the Tigers' first run in the first inning with an RBI single and scored two runs while Cabrera slammed two home runs — Nos. 496 and 497 — as the Tigers beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-2 at Comerica Park.
The Tigers have won 10 straight at home for the first time since winning 10 in a row from July 14-Aug.
