Cabrera Bats In 9th With The Game On The Line

From Elias: What a dramatic ninth inning in the Indians-Tigers game, with Chris Perez facing Miguel Cabrera with Cleveland leading, 7-6, and runners on first and second with two out. Cabrera entered that at-bat batting a major-league-high .532 with runners in scoring position this season (25 hits in 47 at-bats); batting .571 (8 for 14) in such situations with the Tigers tied or trailing by one run; and batting .636 (7 for 11) with runners in scoring position in the seventh inning or later. The result: after falling behind 0-2 and taking the count full, Cabrera bounced out to third, and Cleveland went home with a satisfying win over Justin Verlander, who is now 14-14 in his career against the Tribe.
