1B Miguel Cabrera continues to move up the career statistical lists into the company of elite players. Cabrera, though not having what for him is seen as a good season, collected two hits Sunday to tie new Hall of Famer Tim Raines for 79th place on the all-time hit list at 2,605. He had an RBI double and scored a run in the two-run fifth that expanded Detroit's lead to 3-0. A good sign for Cabrera is that he's back to pulling the ball again. He hit a home run to left Friday night and both of his hits Sunday were off the left field wall, the double to extreme left. Opposing outfielders have been shifting toward right on him recently because he hits the ball the other way so often. "He looks a little bit better lately," manager Brad Ausmus said. "It's been starting with a couple days of batting practice in which I think his bat was a little more lively. He's got a little more whip in his bat."

He grounded into a weak force play in the second and struck out on an 0-2 slider to end the game.
