The Indians fell to the Detroit Tigers 4-0 Friday at Comerica Park.
Most of the damage was done on one swing, as the Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera hit a three-run home run in the sixth inning off of Danny Salazar.
Friday’s One Last Thing: That’s why Miguel Cabrera gets paid the big bucks.
There’s a pretty good reason as to why the Tigers gave Cabrera an eight-year, $248-million extension that brought their total investment in him to $292 million. It’s for nights like Friday night, when the starting pitcher they’ve facing—in this case, Salazar—brings his A-Game and the other eight hitters can’t figure him out.
