Miguel Cabrera created some offense, and a run, in the top of the fourth inning.
He led off the inning with a double — which he stretched out from a would-be single — before narrowly taking third on a sacrifice fly from J.D. Martinez. Cabrera then attempted to score when Justin Upton grounded out to third base, but appeared to be thrown out by Twins first baseman Kennys Vargas. The Tigers challenged the call, which was overturned — adding to their lead. James McCann popped out to Vargas in foul territory, but going to the bottom of the fourth, the Tigers lead 2-0.
