DETROIT -- Torii Hunter put the Detroit Tigers ahead with his bat and scored two runs with his 38-year-old legs to help the Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins 7-1 on Wednesday night. Cheap NBA Jerseys . Minnesota let the AL Central-leading Tigers score four runs with two outs in the seventh, and three more with two outs in the eighth. On a pivotal play in the seventh, right fielder Chris Hermann failed to get to Hunters drive between him and centre fielder Clete Thomas, allowing Austin Jackson to score easily from first. After Miguel Cabrera was walked intentionally, Prince Fielder struck out, but backup catcher Ryan Doumit let the ball get past him and relief pitcher Caleb Thielbar didnt cover home plate. That mistake gave Hunter a clear path to score. "I was always told by Kirby Puckett, Be a hyena. Always take advantage of the weak link," Hunter said. "I saw the pitcher sitting there, looking at the play and the plate was wide open. That play never develops if Prince doesnt run. He did what he had to do, make them throw the ball and I was able to score." Twins manager Ron Gardenhire lamented the mental mistake by the 26-year-old Thielbar. "The kid got caught watching the play and didnt get to home plate," Gardenhire said. "Thats automatic. You have to cover the plate. He knows that better than anyone right now." Victor Martinez followed with an RBI double to put Detroit up 4-1. Twins second baseman Brian Dozier bobbled a grounder in the eighth, the teams first error in six games, and the miscue loaded the bases for Cabrera, who cleared them with his 25th double that gave him 123 RBIs. The Tigers pinch-ran for Cabrera, who has been playing in pain, but felt better Wednesday than he did Tuesday when he aggravated a strain in his groin, abdominal and hip area. "I was pleased with his health," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. Drew Smyly (5-0) struck out two in a perfect inning in relief of Anibal Sanchez. Jose Veras entered with two outs in the eighth inning and closed the game for his first save with the Tigers. Kevin Correia (8-10) allowed four runs -- two earned -- and nine hits over 6 2-3 innings. "I got us right into the position we needed to be, and I blew it," he said. Sanchez gave up one run and six hits over 6 2-3 innings. "Both starters were terrific," Leyland said. "Then, we finally broke through." And, Hunter had a lot to do with that. "Hes one of the toughest players Ive ever managed," Leyland said. "In big situations, he gets tougher." Gardenhire knows that perhaps as much as anyone because he was his manager for several years, and was among the least surprised at Comerica Park when he took advantage of the Twins poor play. "Weve seen him do things like that so many times," he said. "Thats just the way he plays the game. He had a huge at-bat, flipped the ball the other way for the double, and then he makes the hustle play when we fall asleep." After six scoreless innings, Dozier hit a two-out single in the seventh to give Minnesota the lead -- briefly. Pedro Florimon drew a walk on a full-count pitch in the seventh. He stole second, the 15th straight stolen base against the Tigers, who were relegated to using their third-best catcher, Bryan Holaday, who was filling in for injured backup Brayan Pena and starter Alex Avila who is on the concussion disabled list. The Tigers gave up a 16th straight stolen base later in the inning, extending the longest active streak in the major leagues, according to STATS LLC. Minnesota was without All-Star catcher Joe Mauer for the second straight day because he is on the seven-day concussion DL. Both teams had five hits through four innings and combined to leave 10 runners on base. Minnesotas Justin Morneau had two of his teams first four hits, including a double in the third, a day after having a season-high four hits. NOTES: Avila was cleared for a rehab assignment, and is scheduled to play for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday at Louisville. ... The Twins recalled Chris Colabello from Triple-A Rochester to take Joe Mauers spot on the roster, and put the rookie at 1B on Wednesday. ... Pena missed the game with a bruised big right toe. ...

The Jets come in having allowed just six goals over a 5-0-1 burst. They recorded consecutive shutout wins against the New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks before besting the Nashville Predators 3-1 on Tuesday. Ondrej Pavelec made 23 saves and has stopped 88 of the 90 shots he has faced in his last three games. He extended Winnipegs franchise-record shutout streak to 164:44 before yielding a goal early in the second period. Wins change the pressure on the bench, and the confidence, said Winnipeg head coach Paul Maurice. Then as you get further and further into a rhythm of doing the same things over and over again in your own end you start to feel comfortable there. We made some mistakes and had some things go away from us at times, but success makes everything feel a little bit better, and a little more calm. Pavelec, though, is just 2-12-2 lifetime versus the Penguins with a 4.33 GAA and .867 save percentage. He was backed on Tuesday by power-play goals from Andrew Ladd and Mark Scheifele, while Blake Wheeler added an empty-net goal in Winnipegs third straight win. The Penguins announced a four-year, $23 million extension for Fleury on Wednesday, with the deal set to kick in next season. That locks up the clubs all-time leader in regular-season victories (295) and shutouts (31), though opens Rutherford up to criticism should Fleury continue his erratic postseason performances. Fleury, the first overall pick of the 2003 draft, helped lead Pittsburgh to a Stanley Cup title in 2009, but is just 52-40 in 93 playoff games and even saw himself benched during a first-round series with the New York Islanders in 2013. However, the goaltender has been a solid option during the regular season and has opened his 11th NHL campaign with a 7-2-0 record, 1.89 goals against average and .931 save percentage with three shutouts. I believe in Marc-Andre Fleury, as the team does, Rutherford said in a statement. Hes won before and he will win again. Were very pleased to have him signed long term. Fleurys three shutouts this season have come in his past four starts and he has stoppped a total of 54 shots in back-to-back shutout wins over Los Angeles and Buffalo. Tim Hardaway Jersey. He is 17-5-0 with a 2.37 GAA and .913 save percentage in his career versus the Jets franchise. Despite his recent run, Penguins coach Mike Johnston opted to start backup Thomas Greiss in Tuesdays contest with the Minnesota Wild. The move worked, with Greiss making 33 saves in a 4-1 win and extending Pittsburghs shutout streak to 205 minutes and 28 seconds before allowing a goal midway through the third period. We kept a lot of stuff to the outside. It made my life easier, Greiss said. I think our defense did a really good job clearing rebounds. Nick Spaling, Brandon Sutter, Chris Kunitz and Patric Hornqvist all scored for the Penguins, who with five straight wins are on their longest winning streak since taking seven straight from Dec. 9-21 of last year. They won the opener of a five-game swing on Tuesday. Kunitz picked up his fifth goal and eighth point in his past four games, while Evgeni Malkin logged an assist to give him a point in all 11 games this season. He has five goals and 11 helpers.
