Full-speed Maybin might've gone for inside-the-park HR

Detroit -- A completely healthy Cameron Maybin might've had a shot at an inside-the-park home run Monday night.

But he's still dealing with a little quad strain, so he didn't want to push it.

"Just playing it safe," Maybin said. "If my legs felt as good as they usually do, I'm sure I would've thought about it."

Maybin settled for a huge, two-out, two-run triple in the fourth inning of Monday night's 8-7, 12-inning victory over the Seattle Mariners at Comerica Park.

The ball was a shot to left-center that just eluded the outstretched glove of Mariners center fielder Leonys Martin, and Maybin was off to the races.
