Tigers’ Cabrera injured, out for season
DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera ruptured his left biceps tendon Tuesday night, an injury that will sideline the slugger for the rest of the season, and the Detroit Tigers lost 6-4 to the Minnesota Twins.
The two-time AL MVP will have surgery this week, the Tigers said. Cabrera, playing his 12th game since missing 26 with a hamstring strain, exited in the third inning and underwent an MRI during the game.
In New York, Didi Gregorius homered twice for the Yankees, Washington slugger Bryce Harper left in the eighth inning after he was hit by a pitch for the second time, and the Yankees earned their 10th win in 12 games.
Harper fell to the ground in pain when hit on the right elbow by a 90 mph pitch from CC Sabathia (4-1) in the fifth inning. The 2015 NL MVP came out after he was hit on the left foot by Dellin Betances’ 89 mph slider leading off the eighth. In Milwaukee, Chase Anderson pitched seven innings of one-hit ball, and the Brewers moved back into first in the NL Central.
Anderson (5-5) struck out six and walked two. The Brewers had been shut out in Anderson’s three most recent starts against Chicago.
In Baltimore, home runs by Rafael Devers and Andrew Benintendi helped Eduardo Rodriguez win his fifth straight start, and Boston extended the Orioles’ losing streak to six games.
Rodriguez (8-1) gave up two runs and eight hits over 5⅔ innings to increase a career-best run of success that began on May 20 against the Orioles.
In Chicago, Yoan Moncada and Yolmer Sanchez homered to lead off the White Sox’s threerun first, and James Shields won for the first time since opening day.
Shields (2-7) gave up one run and four hits in seven innings after going 12 starts and 13 appearances without a win. Joakim Soria got one out for his ninth save.
In Atlanta, Ozzie Albies hit a grand slam and Freddie Freeman homered during the Braves’ six-run sixth inning.
Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz pitched five scoreless innings before departing with triceps tightness. Shane Carle (4-1) got two outs for the win.
In St. Petersburg, Fla., Wilson Ramos homered, and six Tampa Bay relievers combined for a five-hitter.
With right-handers Chris Archer and Jake Faria on the disabled list, Tampa Bay is using relievers to start three times through the rotation. Austin Pruitt (2-3) pitched 2⅔ innings for the win, and Sergio Romo worked the ninth for his second save.
In Philadelphia, Aaron Nola struck out 10 in another dominant performance and Scott Kingery hit a three-run homer, leading the Phillies to the win.
In Miami, Trevor Richards pitched six effective innings for his first major league win, helping the Marlins top the Giants.
In St. Louis, Eric Hosmer homered for San Diego, and the Padres carried a perfect game into the sixth inning of their 10th win in 14 games.
In Kansas City, Mo., Joey Votto hit a basesloaded triple for Cincinnati in the 10th inning after Billy Hamilton slipped out of a rundown.
