CHICAGO -- Miguel Cabrera probably shouldnt even have been playing Wednesday. Air Force 1 For Sale . Hard to tell, though, after the aching slugger hit a majestic three-run homer in the third inning to spark the Detroit Tigers to a 6-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox. With a day game following an extra-inning night game, and with a crucial five-game series against a division rival coming up this weekend, the rest would have been a prudent prescription for the leg injury Cabreras been playing with for several days. "He actually has a shin thats all black and blue," Jim Leyland said. "It terrible, its terrible looking, but it actually looked a little bit better today. Hes still pretty sore. As a manager, you almost feel bad playing him. I can tell that hes hurting, but he wanted to play today, so I put him in there." Leyland certainly didnt feel bad about the decision afterward. The home run erased an early three-run deficit and gave the Tigers some much needed momentum. "Hes been banged up for about a week," teammate Torii Hunter said of Cabrera. "Miggy, instead of him having to run, he just hits the home run." Cabrera has homered in five of the last six games. Despite allowing a season-high 11 hits, Tigers starter Rick Porcello (9-6) allowed just three runs in six innings. Porcello hasnt lost a decision since June 30 at Tampa Bay. Porcello got off to a miserable start, giving up three runs on four hits in the first inning. Worse, he needed 40 pitches to get the first three outs of the game. Avisail Garcia, and Conor Gillaspie had run-scoring singles, with the other run coming on a sacrifice fly by Jeff Keppinger. After Cabrera tied the score with his 38th homer, the Tigers broke the game open in the top of the sixth, thanks to some clutch hitting and a White Sox miscue. Omar Infante drove in the go-ahead run with a single, and the final two runs came courtesy of an error by Gillaspie, the third baseman. The White Sox added a run in the bottom of the eighth on a run-scoring single by Alexei Ramirez to make it 6-4. Taking no chances, Leyland brought in closer Joaquin Benoit with one out in the eighth. Benoit then proceeded to strike out Adam Dunn and Garcia to end the inning without further damage. He worked out of another jam in the ninth inning for his 15th save in 15 chances. Even though it occurred in the third inning, the talk of the postgame was Cabreras homer off of White Sox starter John Danks (2-10). "He was quick on it," Leyland said. "He just fired his hands -- it looked like a cutter -- and he just pulled his hands in and they were like lightening through the zone. Hes remarkable." Said Danks: "Bad pitch to him. I got him out the first time and I tried to go a little farther inside. I dont think it would have been called a strike." The way Hunter sees it, thats the key. Pitchers dont want to throw Cabrera fat pitches in the strike zone. "Some of those pitches are balls and hes still hitting them out," Hunter said. Cabrera, in his bid for an historic second straight Triple Crown, leads the American League in batting average (.360) and is in a tight battle with Baltimores Chris Davis for home runs and RBIs. With his blast on Wednesday, Cabrera has 114 RBIs. Hunter believes Cabrera is actually having a better season this year. "No doubt," he said. "I wasnt here last year, but hes definitely better this year than last." NOTES: Manager Robin Ventura gave White Sox veteran Paul Konerko the day off. "Guys at that age get a little tighter a day game after a night game," Ventura said. "Let him have a little spa day." . Ramirez extended his hitting streak to 11 games. . The White Sox open a series at Minnesota Thursday night with RHP Andre Rienzo (0-0) facing RHP Mike Pelfrey (7-11). The Tigers are home for the start of a five-game series with the Royals, with RHP Anibal Sanchez (10-7) vs. RHP Jeremy Guthrie (12-8). Air Force 1 Discount . Thats not a comment on the suspension that banished the Portland Winterhawks general manager and coach from his Western Hockey League teams bench for most of the 2012-13 season. Air Force 1 Clearance . -- Canadian Andrew Wiggins got the ball on the wing, made a nifty spin move and then let go with a soft floater from about 10 feet that swished through the net in Allen Fieldhouse. https://www.cheapairforce1outlet.com/ .C. -- Rodney Hood connected from all over the court while freshman Jabari Parker was busy swatting shots and scoring in transition. NEW YORK -- For years, there has been a lot of hand-wringing over the specter of a post-Williams sisters landscape in American tennis.Venus and Serena Williams, at 36 and 34, are the oldest women in the draw and, presumably, they will graduate from the sport sooner rather than later.Friday at the US Open -- with the sisters both enjoying a day off -- offered a glimpse of what that future might look like. Frankly, it might not be completely awful.In a span of less than 15 minutes, 23-year-old Jack Sock sealed his victory over 2014 US Open champion Marin Cilic in straight sets, and 21-year-old Madison Keys finished off her conquest of Naomi Osaka, overcoming a 5-1 third-set deficit. Both are through to the fourth round and the second week of a major, an increasingly frequent occurrence.Which should calm down all those naysaying critics, at least until the fourth round.Sock, the No. 26 seed, surprised No. 7 Cilic 6-4, 6-3, 6-3.Keys rallied famously, winning 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (3).Serena saw this coming. When asked about up-and-coming U.S. talent, she named Keys straightaway.I think thats very nice of her to say, said Keys, drawing laughter from the assembled reporters. It always feels good to hear Serena say something like that. More than anything, it just makes me want to go out and keep working and trying to get better.Keys has been to the fourth round of all four majors this year. If she can beat Caroline Wozniacki on Sunday, which seems reasonable, it would be her first trip to the quarterfinals this year.It was my goal to be more consistent and to make second weeks, Keys said. Those mornings when I didnt want to wake up at 6:15 to go to practice, those are the moments where I feel like getting through those and going out and having good practices have put me in this position.As much as I hate it, Im probably going to have to keep doing some of those.Sock, too, sounded like a drive-by casualty of blossoming maturity.I think Im putting things together better and better, he said after his win Friday. I definitely feel more confident out there in everything Im doing. Used to be some liabilities people would talk about in my game. I feel like I have cleaned thosse up pretty well. Air Force 1 Online. Overall, I feel my purpose out there. Im executing it well, and I feel like I know what Im going to do on almost every point.Sock is through to the second week of the US Open for the first time, while Keys has done it for the second consecutive year.Ryan Harrison, the 24-year-old from Louisiana, made his contribution to the American cause earlier, qualifying into the main draw and then stunning No. 5 seed Milos Raonic in the second round Wednesday. The third round was less spectacular; veteran Marcos Baghdatis defeated Harrison 6-3, 7-6 (4), 1-6, 6-1.After the biggest win of his career, Harrison will see his ranking move up at least 25 spots, into the ATP World Tours top 100.In retrospect, maybe Socks win shouldnt have come as such a shock.While Cilic entered the Open with eight straight match wins (and 14 of 15), the two met in July in a Davis Cup match in Portland, Oregon. Sock was down two sets in that match and somehow turned it around to win. Fridays win gave him six sets in a row over the Croatian.To come back and get three there and get us off to a good start, it only gave me confidence, Sock explained. It was the kick-start of the summer for me. And then playing him today, took a lot of stuff away from that.It was Socks first win over a top-10 player in a Grand Slam (third overall), and it came in a startlingly swift 1 hour, 41 minutes.Next up: No. 9 seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, an opponent somewhat less daunting than Cilic. That would put Sock in a place hes never been: the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam singles event.After the win, an animated Sock executed what looked like a dash of swashbuckling sword play.I became good buddies in Rio with one of the fencers, Miles Chamley-Watson, Sock said. He lives here in New York. He was able to come out here today. Kind of on the spot, I thought of turning the racket into -- I think its called a foil? Is that what they call it?Yeah, so if hes in the box on the next one, and Im able to win, you might see a cleaned-up technique and better version of it. ' ' '
