Minneapolis — Manager Ron Gardenhire pulled Miguel Cabrera aside when the Tigers were in Philadelphia a week ago.
“I told him, ‘My goal, once we get Christin Stewart back, was to bat you fourth,’” Gardenhire said. “He really liked that. Just an opportunity to get more guys on base in front of him and Nicky (Castellanos).
"They weren’t getting to hit with runners in scoring position.”
This is the second major alteration Gardenhire has made to his batting order. The first was moving Josh Harrison out and Jeimer Candelario into the leadoff spot.
