Cabrera gets 4 RBIs as Tigers double up Astros, 8-4

Miguel Cabrera homered, doubled, singled and drove in four runs for the Tigers who beat Houston 8-4. His first two RBIs came on a two-out popup that could have been caught by second baseman Bill Hall or right fielder Hunter Pence. Instead, it dropped between them for a double.

Brad Penny, who will start the Tigers’ second game of the regular season Saturday at Yankee Stadium, gave up two runs in six innings.
