Cabrera's 300th Homer Lifts Tigers Over White Sox Miguel Cabrera's 300th career home run cleared the wall in center field with room to spare and sailed toward the ivy at Comerica Park. That is not the easiest place to retrieve a baseball, but this one should make a nice keepsake. "Somebody got it; they got it somehow," Detroit Tigers Manager Jim Leyland said. They got in there and got it, and that's his 300th, so I'm sure they'll take care of it for him. Cabrera homered twice, and the Tigers finished a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox with a 6-4 victory on Sunday. Detroit wrapped up a 6-1 homestand against the White Sox and the Los Angeles Angels and now leads the American League Central by one and a half games over Chicago. The White Sox have lost five straight. Cabrera became the second Venezuela-born player to reach 300 home runs. Andres Galarraga hit 399. "For my country, yes, it's very special," Cabrera said. Hopefully a lot of players can follow from Venezuela and try hitting 300 more. Quintin Berry and Brennan Boesch also homered for Detroit to help the rookie Jacob Turner (1-1) earn his first career win. Four relievers pitched for the Tigers, with Joaquin Benoit working a perfect ninth for his second save. The Tigers have won 16 of 21. ORIOLES 4, INDIANS 3 Zach Britton pitched six shutout innings, J. J. Hardy drove in three runs and visiting Baltimore won its fifth straight, beating Cleveland. TWINS 7, ROYALS 5 Ryan Doumit homered from both sides of the plate and drove in four runs to lead Minnesota at Kansas City. Doumit became the third Twins player to go deep both right-handed and left-handed in a game. The others were Chili Davis (1992) and Roy Smalley (1986). BLUE JAYS 15, RED SOX 7 Brett Lawrie hit the game's first pitch for one of Toronto's four home runs and the Blue Jays tagged Jon Lester for a career-worst 11 runs, completing a three-game sweep over host Boston. J. P. Arencibia, Rajai Davis and Travis Snider also homered for the Blue Jays. MARINERS 2, RAYS 1 Seattle's Blake Beavan (5-6) struck out five and walked none, outpitching Matt Moore in a tight duel at Tampa Bay. Moore (6-7) gave up two runs, five hits and struck out seven in eight innings for the Rays. PHILLIES 4, GIANTS 3 Jimmy Rollins hit an R.B.I. single to lift host Philadelphia in 12 innings. John Mayberry Jr. hit two solo home runs for the last-place Phillies, and Nate Schierholtz hit a pair of solo shots for the Giants, who lead the National League West. CARDINALS 7, CUBS 0 Lance Lynn won his 12th game with six spotless innings, and Matt Holliday and Carlos Beltran homered on consecutive pitches to put the finishing touches on host St. Louis's three-game sweep. NATIONALS 9, BRAVES 2 Ryan Zimmerman homered twice and drove in three runs, and Danny Espinosa and Roger Bernadina each had three hits and two runs batted in for host Washington. PIRATES 3, MARLINS 0 Jeff Karstens pitched seven crisp innings, Pedro Alvarez homered and Pittsburgh beat Miami for its fifth straight win. Pittsburgh completed its fourth sweep of the season, all at home. REDS 2, BREWERS 1 Wilson Valdez drove in the tying run and scored the go-ahead run to back the gritty pitching of Johnny Cueto (12-5), who matched his single-season career high in wins to lead Cincinnati to its eighth victory on a 10-game homestand. DIAMONDBACKS 8, ASTROS 2 Jason Kubel homered for the sixth time in five games and Chris Young added a three-run shot for host Arizona. PADRES 3, ROCKIES 2 Will Venable drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning and Everth Cabrera had two hits and scored twice for host San Diego. STAYING IN SAN DIEGO Outfielder Carlos Quentin has agreed to a three-year, $27 million contract with the Padres that includes a no-trade clause. Quentin, making $7,025,000 this year, will be paid $9.5 million in each of the next two seasons and $8 million in 2015.
