Tigers’ Cabrera suffers calf strain in win

Detroit Tigers fans are collectively holding their breath after star slugger Miguel Cabrera pulled up lame on a hit-and-run attempt, and had to leave the game.

DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera left Friday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays in the fourth inning with an apparent injury to his left leg.

Cabrera was on first base with no outs and a 3-2 count to Victor Martinez, and took off with the pitch. Martinez fouled the ball off, but Cabrera pulled up sharply, grabbing his left leg. He was attended to by trainers and limped off the field.

He was replaced by Andrew Romine with the Tigers leading 1-0.
