DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera followed a pregame retirement celebration by scoring the first run and driving in another, helping the Detroit Tigers beat the Cleveland Guardians to clinch second place in the AL Central. The start of the game was delayed 33 minutes by the retirement celebration of Cabrera, the 40-year-old 12-time All-Star who is playing his 21st and last big league season. Cabrera went 1 for 4 with a double and is batting .260 with four homers and 34 RBIs. The 2012 AL Triple Crown winner plays his finale on Sunday, the same day Cleveland's Terry Francona manages his final game.
