Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two runs in his return to the lineup Friday.
The first baseman didn't play Wednesday due to an ankle issue, and he did make an error in the field, but Cabrera led the way with his bat. He singled to score a run in the third and then homered to provide insurance during the seventh. But then behind by a run in the ninth, Cabrera recorded his third hit to score two more runs, lifting Detroit to a 7-6 win. Cabrera is slashing .312/.385/.547 with 29 home runs, 85 RBI and 74 runs in 494 at-bats this season.
