DETROIT -- Prince Fielder stood in front of his locker discussing his first two home runs as a Detroit Tiger. Then Miguel Cabrera -- who had just finished reviewing his own two-homer game -- walked past. "Pow!" Cabrera said playfully. "One, two, three, pow!" Detroits potent slugging tandem is already finding its groove. Fielder and Cabrera hit two homers apiece and Alex Avila added another off Josh Beckett in the Tigers 10-0 rout of the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Detroit entered the season as a favourite in the AL Central, and after two games the Tigers are performing pretty much as planned. Ace Justin Verlander was marvelous in Thursdays opener, and Cabrera and Fielder overwhelmed the Red Sox two days later. "So far everythings good. Were 2-0," Fielder said. "Hopefully well just keep working hard and keep it going. Were not going to go 162-0 I dont think." Fielder signed a $214 million, nine-year deal with Detroit in the off-season, adding another big bat to a lineup that already included Cabrera. Beckett (0-1) was no match Saturday. Cabrera opened the scoring in the first inning with a two-run shot to left-centre, and Fielder added a solo homer in the fourth to the same part of the ballpark. Cabrera and Fielder then hit back-to-back solo homers in the fifth. "Im just trying to get better and just watch him," Fielder said. "Hes aggressive yet he still walks. Thats not easy to do. ... Hopefully I can be as good as him when I grow up." Duane Below (1-0) got the win in relief after Detroit starter Doug Fister left in the fourth with a strain in his left side. Fister will go on the 15-day disabled list Sunday. Avila hit a two-run homer for the Tigers. It was the 21st multihomer game for Cabrera and the 23rd for Fielder, and the Tigers certainly hope its a sign of things to come. Cabrera even showed off some impressive reflexes at third base, where he moved this season to make room for Fielder at first. Cabrera lunged to his left to make a diving catch of Jarrod Saltalamacchias line drive in the fifth. "That was a nice play. Did you see that?" Cabrera said. "Everybody was surprised." Cabreras second homer -- in the bottom of that inning -- was originally ruled a double when it appeared the ball may have taken an odd bounce under the fence in left-centre after hitting it near the top. After a review, the umpires ruled the ball cleared the top. There was no doubt about Fielders second shot, a line drive over the wall in right that made it 7-0. Beckett went to Cleveland earlier in the week to get a second opinion on a thumb injury, but he made his start as scheduled. He allowed seven runs and seven hits in 4 2-3 innings, and the five homers he gave up equaled a career high. Beckett said the thumb wasnt an issue. "Too many pitches in the middle of the plate. They hit a changeup, a cutter, two sinkers and a fastball, and every one was down the middle of the plate," he said. "Everything I threw hard went down the middle, and Fielder even hit a changeup that went down the middle." Fister was much sharper, allowing three hits and a walk and striking out three in 3 2-3 innings, but he had to be pulled because of his injury. Below, who nearly won a job as Detroits fifth starter during spring training, came in and allowed one hit in 2 1-3 innings. Octavio Dotel relieved Below and set a record by appearing in a game for his 13th franchise. Dotel signed with the Tigers after helping St. Louis to a World Series title last year. Boston manager Bobby Valentine was managing the Mets when Dotel began his career with them in 1999. "I guess I was his first team, right?" Valentine said. "I credit it to a lot of great sliders and staying healthy for a long time." Austin Jackson, whose ninth-inning single gave Detroit a 3-2 win over Boston on Thursday, drove home a run with a sixth-inning grounder. Detroit scored two more in the seventh after Saltalamacchia -- the Boston catcher -- threw wildly to first on what could have been an inning-ending double play. NOTES: Valentine said OF Carl Crawford, who is recovering from left wrist surgery, is expected to play in extended spring games soon. "Its imminent," Valentine said. ...

PHILADELPHIA -- Kevin Frandsen rounded first after his big hit, looked up to see all the runners circling the bases and prepared himself for a celebration. Frandsen hit a bases-clearing, three-run double with two outs in the ninth off closer Greg Holland to lift the Phillies to a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night in front of the smallest crowd in Philadelphia in four years. The Phillies had just two hits and trailed 3-1 to start the inning. Holland (0-1) walked Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Michael Young to load the bases. He then struck out Domonic Brown swinging and fanned John Mayberry Jr. looking. But Frandsen ripped a first-pitch fastball to right-centre to knock in all three runners. Young slid in safely well ahead of the throw and the dugout emptied as players mobbed Frandsen. "When you see Ryan Howard run at you full speed, thats weird and you get scared," said Frandsen, who pinch hit for Humberto Quintero. "Its a surreal moment, one that you hope to repeat." Frandsen dodged the 6-foot-4, 250-plus pound Howard, by the way. Royals starter Luis Mendoza threw six stellar innings, and the Royals bullpen went into the ninth with seven hitless innings in the series. Antonio Bastardo (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth to earn the win. John Lannan was sharp in his Phillies debut. He allowed three runs and five hits, striking out five in seven innings. "New team, new season. I had some butterflies," Lannan said. "I did my best to control it. Im trying every game to keep the team in the game." Mendoza allowed one run and two hits, striking out seven. The Phillies are 2-3 and were looking more like the team that went 81-81 last year after winning five straight NL East titles from 2007-11. Then came the ninth-inning rally. There werent many fans left to witness it, however. A crowd of 39,475 at Citizens Bank Park was the first under 40,000 since April 29, 2009, when 36,351 came out for a game against Washington. The Phillies led the majors in attendance each of the lastt two seasons.dddddddddddd "You dont want to start 0-2 at home, especially in front of these fans with the energy they bring," Frandsen said. Lannan was cruising along with a no-hitter until the fifth. He hit Lorenzo Cain with a pitch to start the inning and Jeff Francoeur followed with a double down the left field line. Miguel Tejada drove in a run with a groundout to second base and Elliot Johnson singled in a run for a 2-0 lead. Making just their third-ever trip to Philadelphia, the Royals will try to win the rare interleague series Sunday afternoon. They last played here in 2004. The Phillies beat Kansas City to win the 1980 World Series and claim the franchises first of two championships. They clinched the title with a victory in Game 6 at old Veterans Stadium. Lannan retired the first nine batters he faced before Alex Gordon reached on second baseman Utleys fielding error in the fourth. Lannan spent his first six seasons with Washington. He was signed as a free agent by the Phillies not for his performance against them. Lannan was 3-13 with a 5.53 ERA against the Phillies. He entered the game 39-39 with a 3.80 ERA against the rest of the majors. The Phillies cut it to 2-1 when Ben Revere lined an RBI single off third baseman Tejadas glove with two outs in the bottom half. Francoeur led off the seventh with a double to right-centre and Tejada followed with a double down the right-field line to make it 3-1. "We shot ourselves in the foot," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "We walked four guys and they scored." NOTES: Billy Butler started at first base instead of Eric Hosmer, who was 4 for 5 with three RBIs on Friday. Yost planned to start Butler, the teams DH, against Lannan instead of the left-handed hitting Hosmer. ... Francoeur is 15 for 28 off Lannan with six doubles. ... Phillies SS Jimmy Rollins received his fourth NL Gold Glove Award before the game. ... RHP James Shields (0-1) faces LHP Cole Hamels (0-1) in the series finale. Shields is going for his first win with the Royals. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheapjerseyswholesale wholesale jerseys ' ' '
