Bryan De La Cruz homered and drove in three runs, leading the host Miami Marlins to a 6-5 win over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.
Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez, who leads the majors with a .380 batting average, went 3-for-4. He also tops the majors with 15 three-hit games.
Prior to the game, the Marlins honored Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera, who started his career in Miami. Cabrera, a two-time MVP and 12-time All-Star who is retiring after this season, went 0-for-3. Arraez started the game's initial rally with a first-inning single. Jorge Soler then hit a ground ball that Detroit failed to convert into a double play. That opened the door for De La Cruz, who followed with a 398-foot homer to left-center. He hit a 1-0 sinker that was up in the zone.
