Cabrera Homers Three Times, But Tigers Lose to Rangers

Rick Yeatts/Getty Images(ARLINGTON, Texas) --  On a night where Miguel Cabrera seemed unstoppable, Daniel Murphy did just enough to carry his team to victory.

Murphy belted a go-ahead three-run home run in the sixth inning to lead the Texas Rangers to an 11-8 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday night.

Lance Berkman and Adrian Beltre combined to drive in four runs for the Rangers (29-15) who were able to overcome a three home run game from Cabrera.

"Very nice to be on the winning side," Murphy said. "Big game, fun game, national TV. We got to witness the best hitter in the game hit three homers."

The 2012 Triple Crown winner went 4-for-4 with 5 RBIs and now has 11 homers on the year.

Robbie Ross (2-0) pitched a scoreless seventh inning for the win and Joe Nathan closed the door in the ninth for his 13th save.  The Rangers took three-of-four games from the Tigers this weekend.

Jose Ortega (0-1) took the loss for the Tigers.

The Rangers placed second baseman Ian Kinsler on the 15-day disabled list with bruised ribs and called up top prospect Jurickson Profar from Triple-A Round Rock.  He is expected to start for the Rangers Monday night against Oakland.

Tigers Place Austin Jackson on 15-Day DL

Leon Halip/Getty Images(DETROIT) -- The Detroit Tigers placed outfielder Austin Jackson on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a pulled left hamstring.

The move is retroactive to Sunday.

Jackson didn't play in the Tigers' game versus the Indians Sunday, the second game he didn't start in a week.

The 26-year-old leadoff hitter has been bothered by the hamstring for a couple of weeks. After having an MRI Sunday, doctors determined Jackson has a Grade 1 sprain, the least severe on a scale of 1-3.

Jackson is hitting .272 with two home runs, 11 RBIs and five stolen bases this season.

The Tigers have called up outfielder Avisail Garcia from Triple-A Toledo to take Jackson's roster spot.

Garcia, 21,  hit .319 in 23 regular season games for the Tigers last year, and was part of the team's postseason roster.

Verlander Shines as Tigers Sweep Astros 

Robert Rogers/MLB Photos via Getty Images(HOUSTON) --   Another year, another no-hit bid for Justin Verlander.

He struck out nine over seven innings, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning as the Detroit Tigers blanked the Houston Astros 9-0 to complete a four-game sweep.

Verlander, who already has two career no-hitters, gave up his first hit of the game on a Carlos Pena single in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Only five pitchers in major league history have thrown three or more no-hitters and Verlander (4-2) was a few outs away from becoming the sixth.

Prince Fielder homered for the Tigers and drove in four runs.  Andy Dirks, Omar Infante, and Brayan Pena also went deep.

"It's a lot of fun," Fielder said. "Any time you score a lot of runs, it is fun, and plus our pitching has been outstanding, so everything is working really well right now."

Detroit has won nine of their last 10 games while the Astros have lost 10 of their last 11.
