Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera has won the American League Most Valuable Player award for the second straight year.

Cabrera led the majors in hitting this year, winning his third A-L batting title in a row.   That's despite the fact he had to play with a nagging injury during the final two months of the season.

Cabrera won by a comfortable margin Thursday, getting 23 of 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
