Fired-up crowd comes to see Cabrera make history, stays to revel in Tigers win

Detroit — A smile creased Jeimer Candelario's face.

"That was special," he said, after the Tigers broke a 4-4 tie in the bottom of the eighth to beat the Cleveland Indians 6-4. "I know that was special for me and I know it was special for my teammates.

"We're just soaking it in right now."

He wasn't talking about the win as much as he was talking about the electrifying atmosphere.

A fired-up crowd of 32,845 — the largest since July 24, 2019 — poured into Comerica Park on a gorgeous Saturday night.
