Tigers claw back to beat Athletics, 8-6

Detroit — Circle this one.

After four straight losses and falling behind 6-3 against a suddenly rampaging Oakland team that hadn’t lost a game in Comerica Park since 2016, the Tigers got off the mat, scored six runs over the final five innings and beat the Athletics 8-6 Wednesday night.

There were so many big moments for the Tigers in this one.

u25ba Miguel Cabrera hadn’t homered at Comerica Park since Aug. 3. But he hit a two-run missile in the fourth inning — walloping a change-up 423 feet over the bullpens in left.
