Embattled Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera got picked off first Thursday and allowed a dribbler to turn into a two-run single, but he had one heck of a day at the plate against Minnesota.
Cabrera not only recorded his first four-hit game since May 5, 2012, but nearly hit for the cycle. He slammed a home run in the second, single in the fifth, double in the seventh and another double in the eighth that could have been ruled a triple. Cabrera had rounded second when the throw was heaved to the plate.
His six hits in the last two games has raised his average from .205 to .238.
