Tigers make it two straight come-from-behind wins

Maybe the Tigers have straightened themselves out after back-to-back victories that featured dramatic eighth-inning comebacks against the Twins. Jim Leyland's team could easily be 2-12 right now if not for the fact that a few bats woke up at key times.

On Tuesday, it was Miguel Cabrera finally living up to the hype, hitting his first home run since Opening Day to spark the Tigers' rally.
You may recall that after Sunday's loss, Leyland was particularly harsh on his team. Sometimes those kinds of moves work and sometimes they don't. It looks like Leyland's timing was right, though, especially considering he knew his team wouldn't face Johan Santana in either of the Tigers' two games against the Twins.
The Tigers will face the Indians in their next two games. Cleveland is 5-9 on the season
