Cabrera hit a walk-off home run to beat the Rays on Thursday, followed by a go-ahead homer off Chris Archer on Saturday.
Cabrera is the only Tiger in the top five at his respective position. Though Alex Avila might have the best statistical argument of any Tiger for an All-Star spot with a .319 average, 10 home runs and 27 RBIs entering Tuesday, he's well off the pace at catcher, where Royals backstop Salvador Perez holds a commanding lead. Avila might stand a better chance on the players' ballot, which decides many of the All-Star reserve spots.
