Tigers 4, Twins 2
DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera hit a three-run homer in the third and Rick Porcello pitched into the seventh for the Tigers, who swept the three-game series and won their fourth straight. The Twins have lost 10 of 12 to fall to a majors-worst 17-37. Drew Butera hit a two-run homer in the seventh to pull Minnesota within two, but Al Alburquerque struck out Trevor Plouffe with the bases loaded to end the inning.
