DETROIT – Miguel Cabrera set off an "MVP!" chant with his career-high 38th homer, helping the Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins 5-1 Sunday in their final home game of the season.
Cabrera's two-run liner to left gave the Tigers a four-run lead in the seventh inning. Ramon Santiago hit a three-run shot in the fourth.
The Tigers set a Comerica Park record with 52 wins at home this year. They are 19 games below .500 on the road.
Rick Porcello (10-11) gave up a solo homer to Delmon Young and just three other hits over eight innings.
Brian Duensing (10-3) allowed five runs, seven hits and four walks over 6 2-3 innings for the AL Central champions.
The banged-up Twins played without Justin Morneau, Joe Mauer, Denard Span, J.J. Hardy and Jason Repko.
