the obvious benefits of getting on base in front of Miguel Cabrera revealed

Austin Jackson has walked and stolen a base in the early going against the Yankees today. Brennan Boesch is 2-2 in the 3 spot, the second of those driving in Jackson. Miguel Cabrera has then brought Boesch home twice with a pair of 2 runs homers.

If Detroit is going to score runs in bunches and have people on base for the frequent homers that Cabrera is going to hit, the top 3 in the order have to get on base. Admittedly the Yankees have tossed 2 very good pitchers out there so far, but that hasn't been happening in the early going.
