The Tigers did not respect the holiday, refusing to rest on this sunny Labor Day. Cleveland? They abode.

Miguel Cabrera silenced his critics with a two-run shot to begin the game. He wasn’t finished, launching another solo shot later in the contest.

The Tigers led 2-1 when Victor Martinez brought himself to the dong show, sending Cleveland another torturous message for trading him many years ago. Batting next, J.D. Martinez made it back-to-back homers, both to right field.

Alex Avila helped knock in another run on a 3-1 count with the bases loaded, one of two Detroit would tag in the inning. It was 7-1 when Big Cat went yard for his second time.

Not finished, leading 9-1 now, the rookies got on base and smacked one to dead center, finishing the Indians in Cleveland 12-1.

HAPPY LABOR DAY!
