Live Tigers blog: Extra-base hits pave way to win

Three days ago, Miguel Cabrera cited frustration with the Tigers' at-bats.

He showed his fury again on Friday night — and his teammates followed suit by pounding 12 extra-base hits (seven doubles) in a 15-5 victory against the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park.

In the process, Cabrera became the 39th player in Major League Baseball history to record 1,000 extra-base hits. He is the fourth active player to accomplish the milestone along with Albert Pujols (1,223), Adrian Beltre (1,074) and Carlos Beltran (1,052).

Tigers right fielder J.D. Martinez (3-for-4) finished a single shy of the cycle and Cabrera drove in four runs as the Tigers opened a 10-1 lead after three innings in support of starter Michael Fulmer (6-3).
