DETROIT -- Miguel Cabrera helped the Detroit Tigers finish off their second sweep on a homestand in which they won twice as many games as they lost.Detroit, though, dropped a three-game series against the AL Central-leading Cleveland Indians in the middle of the nine-game stretch at Comerica Park to stunt any sort of celebration.Were in third place, Cabrera said after hitting one of three homers for the Tigers in their 10-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. We have a long way to go.Indeed.The surging Indians started the day with a 7 1/2-game lead over Detroit and a six-game cushion ahead of second-place Kansas City.You dont want to get swept three games by the team youre chasing, so that was kind of a downside of the homestand, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. But 6-3 is a good homestand.Cabrera hit his 18th homer of the season in the fourth inning, tying Billy Williams at No. 48 on baseballs career list with 426. Cabreras latest shot soared into the seats in left-center in a matter of seconds.Its something you dont see very often and I get to see it every time he hits one, teammate Ian Kinsler said. Its a lot of fun to watch.Steven Moya and Jarrod Saltalamacchia cleared the fence in consecutive at-bats in the fifth, giving Detroit an 8-2 lead.Marlins reliever Dustin McGowan gave up all three homers, matching a career high.The Tigers built a cushion right away with a four-run first, getting two runs on Victor Martinezs single off Tom Koehler.Its always going to be tough when you are behind the 8-ball at the end of the first inning, but we got those two runs in the second and got ourselves right back into the game, Miami manager Don Mattingly said. The problem is that we gave one run back, and that just takes all the momentum away from you. It got sloppy after that.Daniel Norris (1-0) struck out a career-high eight and gave up two runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings.Norris started for the second time this season, replacing Matt Boyd in the rotation after he was sent to Triple-A Toledo earlier this month. Ausmus said Norris will make at least one more start.The Marlins put two on in the first before Norris struck out Marcell Ozuna looking and Giancarlo Stanton swinging to end the threat.With the traffic, the strikeouts became very important, Ausmus said.Koehler (6-7) allowed five runs and eight hits in three innings.I dont think I ever got settled in, he said. Thats a great lineup, and they just made me work for everything I got.Koehler had won three straight, and was coming off five starts in which he lasted six innings each time.Ichiro Suzuki had two hits for Miami, increasing his major league total to 2,988.Martin Prado had four hits for the third time this season for the Marlins.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: Ozuna, who missed Miamis last two home games with a sore wrist, was able to play in both games against Detroit.Tigers: Moya played after testing a knee injury Wednesday morning that he sustained Friday, leading to him missing the next two games.UP NEXTMarlins: LHP Wei-Yin Chen (4-2) will start for Miami when its road trip continues Thursday night at Atlanta.Tigers: RHP Jordan Zimmermann (9-4) takes the mound for Detroit when it begins a road trip Thursday night at Tampa Bay.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Michael Jordan praised Russell Westbrook for his sense of loyalty in his speech inducting the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame Thursday in Oklahoma City.Another thing you guys should be proud of is the sense of loyalty this kid has shown, Jordan said as the crowd burst into an extended cheer.Following the departure of Kevin Durant to the Golden State Warriors in July, Westbrook responded by signing an extension with the Thunder in August.He couldve easily come to Charlotte, Jordan said, smiling, But he decided to stay here in Oklahoma. Im not here to try and bash anybody thats not here. Everybody has a choice. Im not saying everybody doesnt have a choice. But when I saw he chose to stay in Oklahoma I was so proud, and as Clay [Bennett] knows and Russ know, I texted him to show a sense of respect.One year ago the Thunder organization gathered in Tulsa to induct Durant into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. Westbrook was his presenter. At the end of his speech, Durant said, Hopefully well be here next year for Russell Westbrooks induction.Durant was not in attendance.Westbrook focused his speech speaking on unity and the current social climate.After witnessing the divisions and the challenges of our nation we have been facing for the past several months, Ive realized this honors not about me nor about the people in this room, Westbrook said in front of a crowd of about 1,500. Oklahoma is an unbelievable community. Im so appreciative of the fact that the people of Oklahoma have been so supportive of welcoming my family and I. However, I feel theres always room to grow. I can be better, you can be better and we can be better together.Westbrook is a face of Jordan Brand, but also a player Jordan has specifically mentioned as someone he admires. Westbrook said when he found out he was selected, he had a list of people he wanted to induct him and that Jordan responded right away.When Russell asked me to be a presenter, I didnt even pause because of the relationship and the respect that I have for Clay [Bennett] and obviously the respect that I have for Russell, Jordan said. Im truly a fan of his. If you caan ever say, being that were so many years apart, that I can now watch him play, I see a lot of resemblance in his passion for the game of basketball in the way I play the game of basketball.ddddddddddddFollowing the extension in August, Jordan complimented Westbrook, saying thirty years ago, thats me.[Jordans] a guy if he respects you and the things that you do, he took time out of his day to come all the way to Oklahoma City to do this for me, Westbrook said. Which is an amazing honor.Michaels obviously the best player to play the game, Westbrook said. Hes done so many things for the game of basketball in so many ways and broke down so many barriers for guys like myself to go out and compete at a high level. So it means a lot in that aspect. And off the court obviously hes created a great brand, something I eventually want to do when Im done playing.With Jordan willingly offering comparisons, Westbrook was asked about how he sees himself with regards to Jordan.Its hard to compare yourself to the greatest thats ever played the game, Westbrook said.Westbrook was drafted by the Seattle SuperSonics in 2008 and -- along with Nick Collison -- is one of only two remaining players that relocated with the team to Oklahoma City. He has been committed to charitable efforts in Oklahoma City, from opening Russells Reading Rooms in multiple elementary schools to serving hundreds of meals for each Thanksgiving. In 2015, he received the NBAs Community Assist award.[H]is passion for the game of basketball, you dont teach that. Youre born with that, Jordan said. He shares it with everyone here in Oklahoma. You guys should be certainly proud of that, and the effort and the loyalty hes showed to this state, to this city and this community. Each and every day hes goes out with his Why Not? campaign and his foundation to make sure less fortunate kids get the opportunity to participate in things theyd never even have the opportunity to participate in. He does a great job supporting this community. Feel proud about Russell Westbrook.
