Twins spoil Cabrera's milestone homer, beat Tigers 5-3 with grand slam

Special to The Detroit News

In what was supposed to be a night to celebrate another milestone for Miguel Cabrera in his last season, but one miscommunication led to an avalanche the Detroit Tigers ultimately paid for.The Minnesota Twins hit a grand slam and scored five runs in the sixth inning, the only inning in which they scored, to defeat the Tigers 5-3 on Tuesday night.Matt Wallner’s 450-foot grand slam in the bottom of the sixth flipped the game in the Twins' favor, marking another game where the Tigers' bullpen gave up a lead that the offense didn’t have the firepower to come back from.
