The rally earned Mike Pelfrey (2-7) his first win since June 4. He tied a season high with 12 hits allowed, but limited the damage to four runs, escaping a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the second inning after Giancarlo Stanton lined a two-run homer into the center-field shrubs.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Cabrera finally feasts on Fish: Cabrera had homered off every Major League team in his career, except his original one. He finally got the Marlins on Tuesday, just as Conley seemed to have him flummoxed. A pitch away from his first three-strikeout game since Max Scherzer's gem last month at Washington, Cabrera worked a 1-2 count full before pouncing on an elevated changeup for a three-run homer.
Quick turn for Conley: From dominant to out after 4 1/3 innings, things escalated quickly for the Marlins' lefty, who struck out six of the first seven he faced to start the game. But a couple of walks in the fifth inning led to his undoing in what was shaping up as an impressive outing. The Tigers broke through in the fifth after Conley fanned James McCann to open the frame. But a walk to Mike Aviles started a stretch of seven straight Tigers reaching, with five against Conley. Iglesias connected on a two-run homer, and three batters later, Conley threw a full-count changeup that Cabrera crushed for a three-run homer. Conley's line was a head-scratching 4 1/3 innings, five hits, five runs, three walks and nine strikeouts.
