Cabrera bends the BAC needle = bad karma

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. (AP) - Records show police responded to a "family trouble" call at the home of Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera.

A review of Birmingham Police Department records by The Detroit News indicates officers responded about 6 a.m. Saturday to Cabrera's suburban Detroit home.

The complainant was described as "Rosanna Cabrera." Cabrera's wife is Rosangel Cabrera.

Cabrera was taken to the police station, where he registered a .26 blood-alcohol content according to a report in the Detroit Free-Press.

"He was out late, came home and his spouse didn't appreciate that, I guess and it got into an argument," Birmingham Police Chief Richard Patterson told the paper.

The report says both Cabrera and his wife had facial injuries and Cabrera's gold necklace was broken, but both refused to tell the police what happened.

Patterson said Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski picked Cabrera up at the station Saturday morning.

Cabrera showed up at Comerica Park for Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox with scratches on his face. Cabrera initially told FOXSports.com baseball writer Jon Paul Morosi that a dog was to blame for the cuts; he has since declined comment three times.

A neighbor reported she saw officers put a man in one of three police cars in front of Cabrera's home. Records did not immediately indicate whether anyone was charged.

Chief Richard Patterson is expected to make a statement Monday.

Cabrera told reporters after Friday's loss to the White Sox that he planned to go home, relax and prepare for Saturday's game. But one source told FOXSports.com that Cabrera was seen in downtown Birmingham -- near his home in suburban Oakland County -- later that night.

The report provides context to a terrible weekend at the plate for Cabrera. He went 0-for-11 as the Tigers lost two of three games to the Chicago White Sox. If they had won one more game, they could have clinched the American League Central titile.

Instead, they are scheduled to play the Minnesota Twins in a one-game playoff on Tuesday. It's not clear if Cabrera will be subject to any disciplinary action.
