Detroit — Pretty good day at the old ballpark for the home team.
The day started with a glorious tribute to the 1984 Tigers championship team and ended with a gritty, come-from-behind 7-5 win against the Washington Nationals — snapping an eight-game losing streak and an eight-game drought at Comerica Park.
In between, there were some spectacular defensive plays and another flamboyant ejection for manager Ron Gardenhire.
Miguel Cabrera led the charge, knocking in three runs with three hits. His two-run single in the fifth inning lifted the Tigers out of a 3-0 hole.
