Miguel Cabrera, Buster Posey show off home runs swings

DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera and San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey finally showed in the World Series why they are the favorites to win the Most Valuable Player awards in their respective leagues.

Both hit their first home runs of the series Sunday night in Game 4 as the San Francisco Giants attempted to complete a four-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers at wind-swept Comerica Park.

Cabrera belted a two-run home run off Matt Cain in the third inning to put the Tigers ahead 2-1. It was just his second home run in 52 plate appearances in the postseason for Cabrera after he won the American League Triple Crown by leading the league with a .330 batting average, 44 home runs and 139 RBI.

Posey put the Giants back ahead 3-2 when he hit a two-run in the sixth inning. Posey, who won the National League batting title with a .336 average, had been 11-for-58 (.190) in the postseason.

The Giants' lead didn't last long as Delmon Young hit a solo homer in the bottom of the sixth to tie the score at 3-3.
