Rangers beat Tigers 11-8 despite 3 HRs for Cabrera

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- David Murphy put Texas ahead with a three-run home
run, and the Rangers spoiled a three-homer game from Miguel Cabrera with an
11-8 victory against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday night.
Murphy's shot just over the fence in right field gave Texas an 8-7 lead and
answered a bases-loaded double from Prince Fielder that put Detroit up by two
in the sixth inning after the Rangers had walked Cabrera intentionally even
though first base wasn't open.
Cabrera hit a three-run homer in the third and a solo shot in the fifth off
Derek Holland, then went deep again in the eighth against Tanner Scheppers.
Cabrera, the 2012 AL Triple Crown winner and this year's leader in average and
RBIs, went 4 for 4 with 5 RBIs and has 11 homers, one off the AL lead.
