Miguel Cabrera's homer sends Tigers past Royals
Miguel Cabrera blasted a two-run, first-inning homer and seven Detroit pitchers made the lead stand as the host Tigers won their fifth straight by edging Kansas City 2-1 on Wednesday.
Cabrera's long ball was his first since July 25 and fifth of the season.
Detroit's scheduled starter, Matt Manning, was scratched moments before the game due to arm fatigue. Emergency starter Will Vest gave up one run in one inning.
