Hip to Cabrera
Miguel Cabrera left the Tigers/Twins game with a tight left hip flexor. The Tigers were down 4-1 but scored twice in both the seventh and eighth inning to take a 5-4 lead over Minnesota. The Twins bullpen, so tough during the winning streak, has given up three runs in 2 1/3 innings so far tonight.
Update: The Tigers hang on for the 5-4 win. They now trail the Twins by 2 1/2 games for second place in the AL Central. Detroit finishes the month 19-8 while the Twins go 18-10.

The White Sox went 16-10 for the month, so the race has tightened. Oddly, Minnesota and Detroit have virtually identical runs-for-runs-against records (398/390 vs. 398/393).
Chicago has much better pitching than either of their pursuers, though. So I'd have to bet on the pale hose. Chicago has allowed almost a run a game less than either the Twins or the Tigers, while scoring about as many runs.
But with a race this close...
