Tigers-Indians Preview

(AP) -- After taking home baseball's first Triple Crown award in 45 years last season, Miguel Cabrera is off to an even better start in 2013.

Unfortunately for the Detroit Tigers, his eye-popping numbers haven't translated into many wins of late.

Cabrera and the visiting Tigers try to get back on track Tuesday night against the AL Central-leading Cleveland Indians, who aim for a season high-tying sixth consecutive win.
