The fans at Comerica Park stood on their feet numerous times.
They kept cheering for Miguel Cabrera. He deserved all the ovations.
The Detroit Tigers (44-51) swung their way to a 14-0 victory over the Texas Rangers in Monday's series opener at Comerica Park — behind Cabrera's three-run double in the fifth inning and two-run single in the sixth inning. The 38-year-old finished 2-for-4 with five RBIs.
On a four-game winning streak, the Tigers are 35-27 since May 8.
