Detroit Tigers third base coach Chip Hale tossed up both hands, instructing Miguel Cabrera to stop running in his pursuit to score from first base — something he hasn't done since 2019 — on Nomar Mazara's double to left field in the first inning.
Cabrera, however, did not stop.
The 38-year-old motored around the corner and scored easily, giving the Tigers a two-run lead in the first inning to propel them to a 6-2 victory Sunday and three-game sweep of the New York Yankees at Comerica Park.
The Tigers (22-31) have won three games in a row and four of their past five.
