Miguel Cabrera powers Detroit Tigers to doubleheader sweep against Twins, 4-2

The Detroit Tigers moved two games closer to .500 and only needed 14 innings to do so.

After taking Game 1 of the doubleheader, the Tigers secured a 4-2 victory Saturday against the Minnesota Twins in Game 2 behind 37-year-old Miguel Cabrera. His fifth-inning home run for a two-run lead was his first long ball since Aug. 8.

The Tigers (15-16) have 29 games remaining in the 60-game schedule, and the Twins have stumbled to 20-14 overall. Minnesota began the day in first place of the AL Central before the doubleheader sweep.
