CHICAGO -- Max Scherzer went right back to winning. Miguel Cabrera walked off the field. Scherzer outpitched Chris Sale in a marquee matchup of All-Star starters to earn his 14th victory, and the Tigers overcame Cabreras injury to beat the Chicago White Sox 7-3 on Monday night. With one out in the bottom of the fifth inning, Cabrera was replaced at third base by Don Kelly. The 2012 AL MVP, who appeared to be holding his left side as he headed to the dugout, was removed with a sore hip flexor muscle and will be evaluated Tuesday. Detroit manager Jim Leyland said the Tigers are going to "wait and see" on Cabreras condition. "You know what? If hes got to miss a few games, hes got to miss a few games, and we find out how tough we are," Leyland said. Cabrera, who became baseballs first Triple Crown winner in 45 years last season, has played in 97 of Detroits 98 games this year. He began the day leading the AL with a .359 batting average and 96 RBIs. After scoring from second in the top of the fifth on Victor Martinezs single, Cabrera tried to loosen up his side. He wasnt able to do it, so he left the game. "It (felt) weird," Cabrera said. Without Cabrera, the Tigers still had more than enough to beat Chicago, which gave up five unearned runs. Scherzer (14-1) won his first 13 decisions before losing his last outing before he started the All-Star game for the American League last Tuesday night at Citi Field. He went eight innings Monday and allowed four hits while striking out five. The right-hander, who didnt allow a baserunner until Adam Dunns single with one out in the fifth, increased his strikeout total to 157. The only two runs Scherzer gave up came on solo homers by Dayan Viciedo and Conor Gillaspie. Scherzer also knew what kind of challenge he faced in Sale. "You know every time when Sales on the mound, hes one of the best. Youve got to bring your A game if youre going to have a chance," Scherzer said. "Tonight I thought I pitched the ball very well, but I also could have lost. At the same time, my teammates had a good idea of what they wanted to do." Martinez had four hits to raise his July average to .425 and Torii Hunter homered in the seventh for Detroit, which improved to 43-9 when scoring five or more runs. That offence, though, might not be the same if Cabrera is out for a little while. "If Miggy comes out of a game hes definitely in pain, but Miggys one of those guys, hes tough. He wont be out long," Hunter said. "I definitely think if you need to rest him a little bit, a couple days, I guess we have to do that. We need him for the long run. If it takes a couple days for him to get where he needs to be, I think we should do it." Even with Sale pitching, the White Sox were far from where they needed to be Monday. Sale followed Scherzer to the mound in the All-Star game and worked two scoreless innings. This time, the left-hander pitched eight innings and gave up four runs -- two earned. He yielded seven hits while striking out 11. Sale (6-9) has struck out at least 10 five times this season. The Tigers scored two unearned runs in the fifth to make it 3-0 when Martinez singled with two outs, bringing in Hernan Perez and Cabrera. Perez led off the inning with a routine grounder to shortstop, but Alexei Ramirez misplayed it for the first of his two errors. After retiring Austin Jackson and Hunter, Sale walked Cabrera intentionally and then Fielder to load the bases for Martinez. Sale was visibly upset with the decision to walk Cabrera. "I like people to earn their way on base," Sale said. "Thats about it." Chicago, which was trying to win three straight games for the first time since June 8-10, fell to 11-20 against AL Central teams. The White Sox allowed five unearned runs and made three more errors to reach 64 after committing 70 last year. "Its going to happen every once in a while," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "You hope this one, even in the second half, is one of those every-once-in-a-whiles." NOTES: Leyland said it "might be wishful thinking" that Detroit 2B Omar Infante (left ankle) could be back by the weekend. Infante has been on the disabled list since July 4. ... Paul Konerko, activated from the 15-day DL following a lower back strain, was the White Sox designated hitter and went 0 for 3 in his first game since July 2. ... White Sox RHP Jake Peavy said the trade speculation surrounding him "is not something that consumes any bit of my thought process." Peavy does not have trade protection in the two-year contract he signed this off-season. ...

Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. Ben Duckett is set to become Alastair Cooks ninth opening partner since the retirement of Andrew Strauss when the Test series against Bangladesh begins in Chittagong on Thursday.Duckett, who has recorded four half-centuries from his most recent five innings on the tour, has been favoured over Haseeb Hameed, with Gary Ballance expected to retain his place in the middle-order - he will probably bat at No. 4 - and offspinner Gareth Batty returning for his first Test since June 2005.Cook confirmed that England will field three seamers (Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes and Ben Stokes) and three spinners (Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid and Batty). It is interesting to speculate on which of the seamers might have missed out had James Anderson, or even Mark Wood, been available. Or perhaps the balance of the side would have been different. The pitch looked surprisingly green on Wednesday evening but all the predictions are for a heartbreaker for seamers.While Hameed remains highly rated by the England team management, they have been impressed by Ducketts form and his naturally positive approach to batting. With batting against the new ball offering perhaps the best chance for relatively free-scoring, the management have decided they might be missing an opportunity if Cook was partnered by the equally patient Hameed. And with the decision made to open with Duckett, rather than bat him at No. 4, if left Hameed, who is seen as a specialist opener, with little opportunity.Hameed could be in for a long few weeks now. While the talk is of everyone in the squad winning an opportunity at one stage or another before Christmas - and it is true that the ferociously hot and humid conditions will test even these impressively fit cricketers - it is not hard to see a scenario where he misses out. Englands selection policy over recent times has been to give players ample opportunity to find their feet at this level and Duckett, likes Alex Hales and Adam Lyth and Sam Robson before him, can reasonably expected to retain his place well into the India series.The case for Duckett is close to irrefutable. After a prolific season in List A and first-class cricket, he became the first man to win both the PCAs players player of the year and their young player of the year award in the same season and took to international cricket with two half-centuries in the three-match ODI series. Blessed with a wide range of strokes, fantastically fast hands and an apparently unflustered temperament, he may well be that England have found something quite special in Duckett. David Smith, the former Warwickshire batsman who has been CEO of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, offered both Duckett and James Taylor their first professional contracts. He rates Duckett the more talented of the two; even referring to him as a genius.Perhaps there will be times, as he pushes at the ball, when Duckett is forced to tighten a technique that can leave a gap between bat and pad. And perhaps it will take time to adjust to this standard: there are few truly fast bowlers or top spinners in Division Two of the County Championship. But, aged only 22 (he celebrated his birthday on Monday), he has the time and talent to go far. It might also be noted by those who suggest the selectors only pick those playing in Division One of the County Chaampionship, that both Englands opening batsmen play in Division Two.dddddddddddd He does not have to look far for a role-model. His partner in Chittagong, Cook, will become Englands most capped Test player on Thursday. He has already broken just about every English Test batting record (including most Test runs and most Test centuries) and, aged 31, there could be trunk-loads more to come. Only Allan Border has played more consecutive Tests (this will be Cooks 132nd; Border played 153 in succession) and no non-Asian batsman has score more runs in Asia.It is asking a great deal for Duckett to emulate such levels but he is the sort of player who could have a decade in front of him at this level. Though tours to Bangladesh often spring an anomaly or two (quiz question: which former England captain made his Test debut on the previous tour to Bangladesh? Answer below), it really does seem as if this could be the first step in a wonderful journey.It says much for the enduring demands of Test cricket that, on the brink of another milestone, Cook once again finds himself leading something of a rebuilding job with this England team. The failure to find long-term replacements for the likes of Strauss, Kevin Pietersen, Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell sees England go into this game with only two centrally-contracted specialist batsmen (the number of allrounders in their top seven renders that a slightly dubious statistic), while the recall of a 39-year-old off-spinner underlines a sense that, for all the good things about county cricket, it has failed to produce quality spinners in recent years. The next nine weeks represent as tough a challenge as Cook has faced as captain. To win in India would be a remarkable achievement.To win in Bangladesh would be impressive, too. While Bangladesh play too little Test cricket to give themselves the optimum chance of success - they may well have played more had they agreed to the introduction of promotion and relegation in the format - they have a strong top six and a familiarity with these conditions that gives them a decent chance of improving their grim record against England (played eight, lost eight) at Test level.As if playing seven Tests in nine weeks is not hard enough, as if playing in Asia is not hard enough, as if playing in this heat and against spin bowling is not hard enough, England have also agreed to do so without adequate warm-up time. Playing one two-day match and one 45-overs a side game has not given their batsmen time to adjust to the conditions and a couple of them looked a little under par in the nets the day before the game.But it is such challenges that motivate Cook these days. Indeed, so concentrated is he on the redevelopment of this new England team that he admitted he required reminding of his impending personal landmark earlier in the week.For that reason, Bangladesh have probably never had a better opportunity to beat England. But if the last decade or so has taught us anything, it is not to write off Cook.*The answer to the quiz question is James Tredwell who made his Test debut in Dhaka in March 2010 and captained England in a T20I at The Oval against New Zealand in June 2013.
