(AP) -- Miguel Cabrera went 2 for 3 with a home run
and two RBIs on Friday, leading Detroit to a 7-4 victory over the
St. Louis Cardinals in a spring training game Friday.
It was Cabrera's first game since fresh details came out this
week regarding his February arrest on suspicion of drunken driving.
Cabrera smacked the first pitch he saw over leaping Cardinals
right fielder Allen Craig for an RBI double. In his next at-bat,
Cabrera belted an opposite field home run, his first this spring.
Detroit starter Phil Coke shut out the Cardinals for four
innings. Lance Lynn gave up two runs on three hits in two innings
of work for St. Louis, whose pitchers surrendered 14 walks.
Lynn, who is looking to fill the spot of injured ace Adam
Wainwright, started in Chris Carpenter's spot in the rotation.
