DETROIT -- After another early exit by Miguel Cabrera, the Detroit Tigers arent
exactly sure when their star will return to the lineup.
Authentic Archie Manning Jersey . The
reigning Triple Crown winner was pulled from a second straight game, this time
after two innings Friday night because of irritation in his abdominal area. "I
dont feel very good," Cabrera said after a 7-2 win over Cleveland. "I dont want
to be specific. I dont feel 100 per cent." Victor Martinez doubled twice and
drove in two runs as the AL Central-leading Tigers won in a game stopped after
seven innings because of rain. Detroit opened a 7 1/2-game lead over the
second-place Indians. Cabrera said he didnt swing the bat well in batting
practice, then Tigers manager Jim Leyland watched the third baseman struggle
while striking out in his only at-bat. Cabrera likely wont go on the disabled
list -- hes never been on the DL in his 11-season career -- because rosters can
expand on Sunday. But the Tigers are wondering just how long they might have to
sit Cabrera until the lingering strained left abdominal wall gets much better.
"I dont have any idea on the status," Leyland said. "All I can tell you is when
you pull a guy out one night, normally he doesnt start the next day. I dont have
any idea. I dont really know. I just have to play it by ear, see what happens."
Cabrera left Thursdays game after hurting his abdomen while making an awkward
slide. He has been bothered by a strained left abdominal wall for over a month
and hampered by knee and shin injuries since then. The slugger leads the majors
with 130 RBIs and a .358 batting average. He also has 43 home runs. Indians
manager Terry Francona held a short meeting with his team before the game.
Cleveland then lost to Detroit for the 17th time in their last 21 meetings.
"Were all aware of what our record is," Francona said. "We dont go into any game
not thinking were going to win. The reason theyre beating us is theyre good."
Andy Dirks entered after Cabrera left and got two hits and scored twice. Rick
Porcello (11-7) allowed two runs and five hits in 5 2-3 innings, walking two and
striking out three. He was replaced by Al Alburquerque with the bases loaded and
two out in the sixth. Alburquerque walked Asdrubal Cabrera to force in a run and
make it 5-2, but then got Yan Gomes on a grounder. Drew Smyly and Bruce Rondon
combined to pitch a scoreless seventh as each allowed a hit. Zach McAllister
(7-8) gave up five runs and six hits in 3 2-3 innings. Cleveland took a 1-0 lead
in the first on a spectacular double play started by Detroit shortstop Jose
Iglesias. With runners on first and third and none out, Asdrubal Cabrera hit a
one-hop liner that Iglesias snared with a dive to his right. He then made the
throw to second baseman Omar Infante while still on the ground and rolling over.
"The kid made one of the best plays Ive ever seen. Weve got runners on first and
third and none out, then that," Francona said. "We got a run out of it. But we
would have had still had two on and none out ... that hurt." The Tigers tied it
in the second on Don Kellys sacrifice fly. Detroit scored four in the third to
take a 5-1 lead. Austin Jackson singled in a run and Martinez hit a
bases-loaded, two-run double that eluded centre fielder Michael Bourn, who lost
the ball in the twilight. "I saw it off the bat, I knew it was coming to me.
From there, I didnt see it," Bourn said. "Obviously, I was pretty far away from
it. ... That was on me, I take the blame." NOTES: Rondons first warmup pitch
sailed over the head of catcher Alex Avila and bounced off the backstop. ...
Martinez in 15 for 24 (.625) in his last six games. .. The pitching matchup for
Saturday nights second game of the series is LHP Scott Kazmir (7-6, 4.25) for
Cleveland against RHP Anibal Sanchez (11-7, 2.61) for Detroit.
