ATLANTA -- The Tigers rode Miguel Cabrera's two home runs and Daniel Norris' power fastball to within a half-game of the Blue Jays for the American League's second Wild Card. A pair of Cabrera drives to center supported Norris' 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball, sending Detroit to a 6-2 win over the Braves Friday night.
While the Tigers' arrival for an Interleague series on the final weekend of the regular season to close out Turner Field was a unique sight, Cabrera's power display looked familiar. His first-inning drive to straightaway center followed Ian Kinsler's leadoff homer to build a 3-0 lead after eight pitches from Braves starter Matt Wisler (7-13).
