STREAKS AND STATS:

Anibal Sanchez allowed the 16th and 17th home runs of the season in the first and seventh innings, a three-way tie for the most in Major League Baseball.
Nine of the home runs he's given up have come against right-handed batters, eight to lefties.
Sanchez's single-season career-high home runs allowed are 20. Not a good mark to be chasing before half of the season is complete.

Miguel Cabrera's RBI double in the first marked his 53rd RBI of the season, tying him with Oakland A's Stephen Vogt for first in the American League.

Cabrera's first-inning hit also gives him a five-game hitting streak and his 26th multi-hit of the game of the season. His three-hit game marked the ninth of the season and 3 doubles game was just the third in his career, his last coming on May 30, 2012 at Boston against the Red Sox.

Yoenis Cespedes' RBI triple in the fifth gave him an eight-game hitting streak.

J.D. Martinez homered in back-back-to-back games on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night, the second time he's done so this season and the third back-to-back homer game of the year. His last was on June 13-15 -- two games against the Indians, one against the Reds.
Martinez has now hit six home runs in his last five games and nine in his last 12.
 
This team seems to struggle to do simple things...

DETROIT -- Ian Kinsler did what he could. But no one on the Detroit Tigers bench saw him give the signal that they should challenge the call.

The Tigers missed an opportunity to challenge a call at second base Friday night in the second inning of what turned out to be a 5-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

Anibal Sanchez is not especially quick to the plate. Bryan Holaday has not thrown out many runners attempting to steal second base this season. So it was not a huge surprise when Avisail Garcia beat the throw and slid in well ahead of the tag on a steal attempt in the second inning.

Jose Iglesias slapped a quick, late tag on Garcia without really even looking at him. What he missed was the fact that, while the tag was applied, Garcia had popped up and off the bag.

"We found out about that too late," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "From the dugout, we can't see that. After the fact, when the pitcher was already on the rubber and the batter was already in the box, we were alerted to, 'Hey, he might have been off the base after the slide.'

"I looked at it. He was. Fortunately it didn't cost us, but it's not something that should happen again."

No one on the bench saw that Garcia had left the bag. Iglesias didn't see it, so he didn't signal to the bench. Kinsler did see it. He said he did his best to draw some attention.

"I was doing jumping jacks," Kinsler said, smiling.

Next time, he'll call time out and make sure the message gets through, Kinsler said. Ausmus said the same thing.

"No one saw Ian trying to get our attention," Ausmus said. "We've already talked to them about, 'Hey, if you see something, go to the mound and call time and give us some type of signal to let us know we need to look at this.' "

Generally, the player involved in the play is the one who notices the call was missed and signals the dugout. The fact that Iglesias didn't realize the call was missed didn't help.

"Sometimes you're looking at the reaction of the player and Iggy didn't know as well," Ausmus said. "But, yeah, that was a play that we should have challenged."
