In the first inning of Big Series #3 Game One, Delmon Young tripled in Austin Jackson. Miguel Cabrera singled in Young.
Then, Cabrera took off for second; a blur on the base path, sliding in with his second stolen base of the year for a team last in the league in steals.
V-Mart singled him in, an indicator that it would be that kind of night for John Danks and the White Sox.
Cabrera's blazing speed turned the game around early and put Mo Mentum on the Tigers' side.
Three runs were all Justin Verlander really needed, but a five-run fifth -- featuring a two-run homer by Jackson and a three-run double by Jhonny Peralta -- put the Sox away for the night.
Final: Tigers 8 Sox 1. JV wins number 21; the Pale Hose are now 6 1-2 out and back in third place, one game behind the Indians who won 5-4 in Kansas City.
