The Oakland A's, bitten by the injury bug, need to lean on starting pitcher Sonny Gray even more than expected.
In one productive day, Athletics general manager Billy Beane filled two important pitching voids.
After matching Tigers ace Justin Verlander pitch for pitch in Game 2, Gray could not repeat the feat in Game 5. It sounds like an injury, perhaps a rather serious one, is part of the reason why.
Verlander pitched eight scoreless innings, sealing Oakland's fate and sending the Tigers hurtling into the ALCS.
Always one to deliver in big-game, high-drama moments, though, Cabrera broke his homerless streak Thursday with a two-run bomb that gave the Tigers a lead they would never relinquish.

If Max Scherzer had not locked up every vote for the American League Cy Young already, he probably converted any remaining doubters with his gutsy performance as a reliever Tuesday.
Max Scherzer escaped a major jam in relief and the Detroit Tigers - helped by two fans who reached out to try to reel in Victor Martinez's disputed home run - rallied past the Oakland Athletics 8-6 on Tuesday to force a decisive fifth game in their AL division series.
Little surprises Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland. After all, he has been in and around the game for nearly half a century. What throws him off a little, though, is the Tigers' current lack of power.
"I haven't really had a lot of luck with that in my career to be honest with you, bringing a starter out, but we'll see," Leyland said.
The A's pitching staff has completely stymied the dangerous Detroit offense in 25 of 27 innings in the series.
