DETROIT - Miguel Cabrera doubled and scored on Prince Fielder's single, part of a snowy eighth-inning rally that gave the Detroit Tigers a 5-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday.
After Fielder's tiebreaking single, a light snow shower passed briefly over Comerica Park. Jhonny Peralta added a sacrifice fly later in the inning, and Gerald Laird's RBI single gave the Tigers a three-run lead. Phil Coke (1-0) pitched the eighth, and Jose Valverde finished for his first save of the season.
Valverde blew a save for the first time since 2010 in Thursday's opener against Boston.
Austin Jackson homered for Detroit, which is the AL's last unbeaten team after handing the Rays their first defeat.
Jake McGee (0-1) was the loser.
