Detroit Tigers VS. Cleveland Indians

When the Detroit Tigers took on the Cleveland Indians wednesday night, it was a showdown battle of the aces. Justin Verlander took the hill against Ubaldo Himenez. As rain started to pour onto the field, Justin Verlander wasn't about to let the rain delay take away his win.

Verlander returned to the mound after a 62 minute rain delay, to get his 5th win of the season. Cabrera also hit another homerun-maybe the luckiest of this season, as the Detroit Tigers knocked off the top team in the AL Central, being the Cleveland Indians.
Final Score-
Detroit Tigers- 11
Cleveland Indians- 7

Coming off of his Triple Crown Winning season in 2012, Miguel Cabrera is having easily as good of a season in 2013, if not better.

At this point in 2012- Miguel Cabrera was batting .307 with 8 home runs, and 45 runs batted in.
At the same point this year- The Tigers Slugger is batting .347 with 11 long bombs and 52 runs batted in.

Will Miguel Cabrera have the same legendary season that he had last year? Will there be a player who wins the Triple Crown Winner two years in a row? If Cabrera keeps those numbers up, there is certainly a possiblity.
