MINNEAPOLIS -- Down a couple of key cogs in their lineup, the Detroit Tigers didnt flinch.The all-around performance was well-timed, with little room left on the schedule for stumbles.Matt Boyd bounced back from a bad start by breezing through eight innings, backed by home runs from James McCann and Miguel Cabrera as the Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins 8-1 on Tuesday night to cut the deficit between them and the second AL wild card spot to 1 1/2 games with 12 to go.This is what you live for. I wouldnt want it any other way, said Boyd (6-4), who lost 8-1 to the Twins at home last week.Boyd gave up a homer to Robbie Grossman in the seventh among only three hits allowed. He matched his career best with seven strikeouts and walked just one, after being pounded by Minnesota for seven runs in 3 2/3 innings on Sept. 13.He was on tonight, and youve got to tip your hat to him, Minnesotas Byron Buxton said.Detroit played without Victor Martinez (bruised knee) and second baseman Ian Kinsler (concussion-like symptoms), both having been hit by pitches from Clevelands Trevor Bauer on Sunday.McCann, in the designated hitter role for Martinez, sent a three-run shot into second deck above left-center in a four-run sixth against Hector Santiago (12-9). Cabrera hit his 34th homer the following inning, a two-run drive against Michael Tonkin.Cabrera is batting .375 in 32 at-bats over seven games at Target Field this season, with five doubles, three homers, seven runs and six RBI.Cameron Maybin had an RBI triple, Justin Upton drove in two runs and everybody in the lineup had at least one hit for the Tigers, who damaged their playoff push with a four-game split against the worst-in-the-majors Twins last week. Theyre only 8-9 this month.Brian Dozier had a lonely leadoff single in the bottom of the first and stole second base with none out, only to be stranded by Boyd. Kepler walked in the second inning and was quickly caught stealing. Then Boyd retired 14 straight batters until Grossman went deep with one out in the seventh.Thats a sign of a guy thats getting more comfortable, Tigers catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said.MIGGY CAN MOVEThe significance of the situation wasnt lost on Cabrera, who started the fourth inning by crushing a double to right field and sliding in to beat the throw from Max Kepler. The hulking power hitter hustled to advance a base by tagging on a fly ball to Buxton in medium-range center field. Then he rumbled home for a 2-0 lead on a groundout to third, sliding underneath catcher John Ryan Murphys tag after the throw home to try to get the double play.We had three chances to throw out Cabrera. I dont know if you ever see that, Twins manager Paul Molitor said.Cabrera was initially called out, but the replay review brought a reversal and a rousing round of high-fives in the dugout.Anytime a big player does something like that, it pumps everybody up, Saltalamacchia said.Said manager Brad Aumsus: Hes got great instincts on the bases. Hes not 21 anymore, but he still has a pretty good idea of what he is and isnt capable of.STILL STREAKINGDozier stretched his hitting streak to 23 straight games, the longest for the Twins in nine years since Torii Hunter had one of the same length and the fourth-longest in the major leagues this season.MENDING ZIMMERMANNTigers right-hander Jordan Zimmerman threw another simulated game without physical trouble, trying to return from a neck injury that has limited him to two starts since June that didnt last past the second inning, but his mechanics arent not quite right enough yet to return to the rotation.TRAINERS ROOMTigers: The likelihood of 3B Nick Castellanos (broken hand) returning this season has lessened, after feeling discomfort on some swings during batting practice on Monday at the minor league complex in Lakeland, Florida.Twins: 3B Miguel Sano (sore back) missed his seventh straight game, but hes been taking groundballs and batting practice and should be able to play this week. 1B Joe Mauer was given another rest for his ailing quadriceps.UP NEXTTigers: RHP Buck Farmer (0-0, 4.07 ERA in 13 relief appearances) was chosen to make his first major league start of 2016 on Wednesday night, the latest to fill Zimmermanns spot with Mike Pelfrey and Anibal Sanchez struggling all season. Farmer has made seven starts over the last two seasons for the Tigers and 20 starts this year for Triple-A Toledo.Twins: RHP Jose Berrios (2-7, 8.88 ERA) will make his 13th start in the middle game of the series. He finished only four innings in his last turn, but the rookie allowed two runs to match a season low. Clearance Ultra Boost . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. Ultra Boost Shoes From China .B. - Sebastien Auger made 44 saves as the Saint John Sea Dogs edged the visiting Acadie-Bathurst Titan 2-1 on Saturday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. http://www.cheapultraboostclearance.com/ . Both players have lower body injuries that will keep them out of the lineup until at least January 31, which is the first game they can be activated from IR. Womens Ultra Boost . -- Aaron Murray threw for 408 yards and three touchdowns, ran for another score, and led No. Adidas Ultra Boost Shoes . Burke is expected to miss two to three months after breaking a finger in the teams third preseason game. Tinsley, a 10-year veteran, spent the last two seasons in Utah, where the point guard averaged 3. If you like your basketball fast and high-scoring, The Citadels trip to No. 20 Iowa State on Sunday might be for you.The Bulldogs (3-1) average 112.3 points per game and just 14.2 seconds per possession, ranked 30th nationally according to kenpom.com. The Cyclones (2-0) tally 93 ppg and take only 12.9 seconds per possession, which is the sixth-fastest pace nationally.Simply put, it wont be a shock if both teams crack 100 points and 100 possessions each. And if The Citadel is hitting a good percentage of 3-pointers, it wont be a surprise if it keeps this game competitive deep into the second half.Bulldogs coach Duggar Baucom became a proponent of Paul Westheads style of basketball early in his tenure at VMI, using it to post victories that program usually doesnt, like a season-opening win one year at Kentucky. He also took the Keydets to the collegeinsider.com tourney semifinals three seasons ago.Thursday nights 116-112 win at Stetson was basically par for the course for The Citadel. It nailed 18 3-pointers in 41 attempts while also demonstrating great ball control with 24 assists against just nine turnovers.We tell kids were going to shoot more 3s than any team in college basketball, Baucom said. Were going to play the fastest tempo. We have now for 10 years. Were going to have a chance to lead the country in scoring, and theres just going to be a lot of shots available.As proof for that statement, freshman guard Kaelon Harris came off the bench at Stetson to score a career-high 26 points. But the leading scorer in a balanced attaack is sophomore forward Zane Najdawi (17.dddddddddddd8 ppg, 10.3 rebounds), whose 60 blocked shots last season set a school freshman season mark.All that offense aside, theres a reason Iowa State is a 30 1/2-point favorite in this one. The Cyclones, on paper, have almost every advantage possible.They have the best player in preseason All-America point guard Monte Morris (19.5 ppg, 7.0 assists). They boast a huge checkmark in experience with five senior starters, as opposed to the Bulldogs seven freshmen and three sophomores, and should have the savvy to recognize when to turn down a 12-footer to get a layup.Coach Steve Prohms first priority, though, is getting his team prepared to best defend The Citadels unique style of play.I notice they hung up another (116) points the other night, he said. I have a lot of respect for Duggar and what hes done for a long time. Obviously, transition defense is going to have to be a key.Iowa State hasnt played since Monday night, when it dumped Mount St. Marys 73-55 as it held the Mountaineers to less than 30 percent from the field. Opponents have made 30 percent of their shots against the Cyclones, the lowest field goal percentage against in the Big 12.Iowa State owns a whopping 112-36 advantage in points in the paint despite starting a four-guard lineup. With the Bulldogs emphasis on quick pace and shooting lots of 3s, the Cyclones could add to that margin greatly.
