Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera shook off a recent power outage to hit a two-run home run Thursday as his team advanced to the American League Championship Series with a 3-0 Game 5 win over the A's.
Cabrera's fourth-inning home run was his first extra-base hit since Sept. 17, when he hit his only home run in the month of September. He enters a matchup with the Red Sox in the ALCS with a hit in seven straight postseason games, dating back to the 2012 World Series.
