DETROIT (AP) — Miguel Cabrera had three hits, including two doubles, but the Cleveland Indians spoiled the first day of his valedictory weekend with a 7-5 win over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.Cabrera, playing the last three games of his career, doubled in his first two at-bats to raise his total to 626, breaking a tie for 13th place and moving two ahead of Hank Aaron. Cabrera singled in the seventh for his 3,173rd hit.Cal Quantrill drew thunderous boos when he hit Cabrera in the third inning, although Cabrera simply jogged to first and engaged in his normal laughing conversations with first baseman Josh Naylor and the Guardians dugout.Quantrill (4-7) gave up eight hits and four runs while striking out three in five innings to pick up the win, and Emmanuel Clase allowed a ninth-inning homer to Spencer Torkelson before finishing the game for his 44th save.“Cal slugged through five,” Guardians manager Terry Francona said. “It wasn’t easy at times.

WELD COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — On the edge of the small Weld County towns of Eaton and Ault, two shiny signs now hang on the shoulder of two highways in honor of two Colorado heroes.
