Miguel Cabrera, Alex Faedo come up big as Tigers sweep away Pirates

Pittsburgh — Miguel Cabrera keeps delivering clutch knocks.

He lined a single up the middle in the eighth inning Wednesday, scoring Harold Castro from second and breaking a 1-1 tie as the Tigers completed the sweep of the short series with the Pirates 3-1 at PNC Park.

Tigers starter Alex Faedo pitches against the Pirates during the first inning Wednesday in Pittsburgh.

In 14 games since May 22, Cabrera is hitting .346 with six RBIs, three of them either tied or won the game in the eighth inning or later.

The Tigers had been held hitless since the third inning until Castro led off the eighth with a ringing single to left against right-handed reliever Wil Crowe.
