"In the top of the eighth inning during Game 2 of the first-round playoff series between the Tigers and Yankees, Miguel Cabrera stole second base. Seconds after he got there safely, Derek Jeter walked over to chat.

It was Cabrera's third stolen base this season, so it wouldn't have surprised anyone if Jeter was at second to joke with the big slugger about his unexpected steal. But Jeter, who collected his 3,000th hit this summer, was there instead to talk about hitting. And who could blame him?

All Cabrera did was smack a two-run, first-inning home run to help Detroit seize early momentum Sunday at Yankee Stadium. He followed that with a crucial RBI in the sixth when he singled in Austin Jackson to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead en route to a 5-3 triumph."
