Raburn's 3-run double gives Tigers DH split

By AP

DETROIT – Ryan Raburn's three-run double in the eighth inning capped a four-run rally that carried the injury-depleted Detroit Tigers to a 6-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays and a split of their day-night doubleheader Sunday.

In the opener, Lyle Overbay hit a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning to snap a tie and send Toronto to a 5-3 win.

Miguel Cabrera hit an RBI double into the right-field corner off Jason Frasor (3-3) with one out in the eighth inning of the nightcap, cutting Detroit's deficit to 4-3.

It scored Austin Jackson, who led off with a single, and sent pinch-hitter Ramon
Santiago, who was hit by a pitch, to third.

Brennan Boesch was intentionally walked to load the bases and Raburn ripped Frasor's pitch into left-center.
