DETROIT -- Miguel Cabrera is making a late push for the Triple Crown -- and if he keeps swinging like this, the Detroit Tigers could still have a shot in the AL Central. Victor Cruz Authentic Jersey . Cabrera homered twice, including a grand slam in the eighth inning, and the Tigers routed the Oakland Athletics 12-2 on Tuesday night. Detroit lost right-hander Max Scherzer after only two innings to fatigue in his throwing shoulder, but an MRI revealed no structural damage. The Chicago White Sox beat Kansas City to remain three games ahead of Detroit atop the division, taking something away from Cabreras big night. "Our job is to win games. Theres no talk about personal numbers," Cabrera said. "Hopefully we can get a good winning streak." Cabrera now leads the American League with a .333 average and 129 RBIs. He also has a career-high 40 homers -- two behind Josh Hamilton for the top spot. The last Triple Crown winner was Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. "Thats a hard thing to do. Youve got to be lucky," Cabrera said. "Hopefully we get lucky in our division and win more games." Prince Fielder and Jhonny Peralta added home runs for the Tigers. Darin Downs (2-1) pitched 2 2-3 scoreless innings for the win in relief of Scherzer. Oakland rookie A.J. Griffin (6-1) lost for the first time in his career. "Just wasnt executing pitches the way I usually do," Griffin said. "Wasnt pounding down in the zone, leaving pitches up and they capitalized on it." Scherzer entered the game with a major league-leading 220 strikeouts and added four more to that total before leaving after only two innings. Hes expected to go a couple days without throwing, then be evaluated again. "I didnt have any pain in my shoulder -- it was just like my arm was dead," Scherzer said. "MRI came back negative. All the structural -- its all good." After a gut-wrenching 5-4 loss to the White Sox in Chicago on Monday, the Tigers were back home, where theyve now won 27 of 35. Theyll play their next nine games at home before going on the road for the final six. Griffin was the only pitcher since at least 1918 to allow three runs or fewer and walk two batters or fewer in each of his first 11 career starts. That streak came to an end Tuesday. He allowed five runs and eight hits in 4 2-3 innings, walking one and striking out three. Oakland took the lead in the first on an RBI single by Brandon Moss, but Detroit answered immediately with Cabreras sacrifice fly. Peralta gave the Tigers a 2-1 lead in the second with his 12th homer of the year, and Cabrera hit a solo shot of his own the following inning. Fielders 27th homer of the year -- a two-run shot in the fifth -- made it 5-1, and the As never made much progress against the Detroit relievers. Oakland came in three games behind first-place Texas in the AL West, but leading the wild-card race. This 10-game swing to Detroit, New York and Texas is their last trip of the regular season. Austin Jackson hit an RBI double in the sixth for Detroit, and Quintin Berry added a two-run double to make it 8-1. Berry left in the top of the seventh with a right shoulder contusion after a diving attempt to catch Josh Reddicks double. X-rays were negative. Reddick scored on a single by Yoenis Cespedes. Oakland outfielder Coco Crisp started after having been out since Saturday. Hed missed time because of an allergic reaction in his left eye, and he left this game in the fourth because of complications to an existing eye infection. Detroit added four more runs in the eighth on Cabreras grand slam. Oakland reliever Jesse Chavez was then ejected for hitting Fielder with a pitch. NOTES: Detroit C Alex Avila did not play and is day-to-day. Hes still recovering after colliding with Fielder on Sunday chasing a pop in Cleveland. Hes been bothered by headaches. His replacement, Gerald Laird, had three hits. .. Moss had three hits for the As. ... Detroit RHP Justin Verlander (14-8) takes the mound Wednesday night against Oakland LHP Brett Anderson (4-1).

Frank Francisco walked a pair of batters with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning, then gave up a two-run double to Martin Prado that put the potential tying run on third and the go-ahead run on second.The Phoenix Coyotes staved off elimination, avoiding a sweep, with a 2-0 win over the Kings in Game Four at Los Angeles. Phoenix managed to win despite being outshot 36-21 in the game, the eighth time in this years playoffs that the Coyotes have been outshot by at least 15 shots in a game; they have a 4-4 record in those games. The reason that Phoenix manages to survive while getting outshot by such a margin is the play of goaltender Mike Smith, who has recorded at least 35 saves in nine of 15 playoff games. If the Coyotes are to have any hope in this series, they need a superhuman effort from Smith but, considering the Kings ability to get under his skin early in the series, it still seems unlikely that Smith can lead a rally for a team getting so dominated in the possession game. Phoenix got both their goals from captain Shane Doan, his first goals of the series and the first goal was assisted by Ray Whitney, his first point of the series, ending a six-game scoreless drought. Doan also tied defenceman Derek Morris for the Coyotes team lead with five hits. While the Kings number one line of Dustin Brown, Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams dominatted territorial play, the combined for a total of seven shots on goal, so a certain amount of credit is due to Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Michal Rozsival, the defence pairing that ended up against that trio most often (per www. Andre Brown Womens Jersey. imeonice.com). Trevor Lewis continued to be a factor in moderate ice time (13:32), tying Drew Doughty with a game-high five shots on goal and leading the Kings with five hits. Lewis has been an unheralded contributor to the Kings in this playoff run. He scored seven points in 72 regular season games and has six points in 13 playoff games, working on a terrific third line with Jarret Stoll and Dwight King. So, while the Coyotes have to be encouraged that they are heading home for another game, there is little reason to get optimistic about a miracle comeback because the Kings are just controlling too much of the play. If the Coyotes can change that fundamental difference, then there might be some reason for hope, but were not there yet.
