- Miguel Cabrera and the Detroit Tigers jumped out to a big lead before Rick Porcello even threw a pitch. "We came out swinging, put some runs on the board early," manager Jim Leyland said. "That let Rick relax a little bit, and he was very good against a tremendous offensive club." Given a quick five-run lead, Porcello pitched into the seventh before allowing his only run and the Tigers beat the Texas Rangers 8-2 on Monday night in a rematch of last year's AL championship series.
