Cabrera's Return Perks Up Offense

Game 117 @ MIN

A seemingly perfect lineup was bolstered by the return of Miguel Cabrera. Manager Jim Leyland tried something new: a maneuver that is used by Ron Washington. He used the pesky hitting Michael Young in the 2-slot.

Since Cabrera is also known for a lot of contact, he was put there today. Adam Jones remained 3rd, and Andre Ethier was dropped to 5.

The move worked, as the offense scored 8 runs, and Cabrera was 2-5.

Jordan Zimmermann is now a 20 game winner.
