Miguel Cabrera, who has been dealing with hip and abdominal problems, led off the Detroit 12th with a pinch-hit single. Matt Tuiasosopo ran for him and went to second on a sacrifice bunt by Austin Jackson. Hunter, who also appeared to have the day off before entering late in the game as a replacement, lined a single to left-center off Dylan Axelrod (3-8) to win it.
Bruce Rondon (1-1) pitched two scoreless innings for his first career win. The Tigers have won 12 of 13.
