Chicago's seven-run lead at midgame had shrunk to two runs as the ninth began. In came right-handed closer Sergio Santos, who hadn't allowed a run on the road all year.
Raburn delivered his no-doubt blow to left with one out after Austin Jackson tripled. Cabrera unloaded his no-doubter to left with two outs on the first pitch he saw.
This 9-8 win didn't clinch anything, but it increased the Tigers' lead on second-place Cleveland to 6 1/2 games with time beginning to run out. And it pushed the White Sox 7 1/2 back.
