Upton follows Cabrera's titanic blast with walk-off HR

Detroit -- Miguel Cabrera made the fans go, "Oooh."

Justin Upton then made them go, "Ahhh."

Brad Ausmus then made them go, "Huh?"

And Mike Pelfrey, well, he made them go ... eh, never mind.

Plus, as it turned out, Pelfrey's latest dud start didn't even matter, as Upton followed a mammoth first home run with a walk-off homer in the bottom of the 12th inning, as the Tigers took the opener of a four-game series with the Seattle Mariners, 8-7, at Comerica Park.

"That was a big relief tonight," said Upton, who's had a wildly frustrating season for a gent who this offseason was signed to a six-year, $132.
