Detroit was playing in front of its third home sellout of the season - the team retired former manager Sparky Anderson's No. 11 before the game. Jhonny Peralta gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead in the second with his 12th homer, but the Tigers trailed, 2-1, until their big eighth inning.
Kelly singled off reliever Aaron Heilman (4-1). After Austin Jackson struck out, Casper Wells drew a walk. David Hernandez then came on and didn't retire any of the four batters he faced.
He walked Magglio Ordonez on four pitches to load the bases for the always-dangerous Cabrera, who appeared to get jammed but managed to line a two-run single to left. Hernandez then gave up RBI singles to Victor Martinez and Peralta.
"We never quit, that's for sure," Martinez said.
And they didn't stop. Brandon Inge hit a two-run single off Bryan Shaw to make it 7-2, and Kelly - batting again - reached on an error, with another run scoring.
"We played a tough game, but they've got a great offense and they got everything rolling all at once," Arizona outfielder Chris Young said. "That's why you have to get all 27 outs."
The Tigers are averaging 5.1 runs a game in June. Cabrera, Peralta and Martinez have hit well all season, and Ordonez is showing signs of turning around a poor start.
"We hit some of them good, some of them not so good - but wherever we hit them, they found a gap, found a hole," manager Jim Leyland said.
"That was the big thing. Miguel had a big two-out hit, that's golden. That's what he's good at."

Yankees 6, Rockies 4
NEW YORK - Eduardo Nunez hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the seventh inning after shortstop Troy Tulowitzki made an error, Nick Swisher and Jorge Posada hit consecutive homers, and New York beat Colorado.
Mark Teixeira homered for New York and Alex Rodriguez drove in a run for his sixth straight game.
Ty Wigginton connected twice for his second multihomer game this week, and Chris Iannetta also homered for Colorado.
New York improved to 22-4 in day games.
Posada walked with one out in the seventh and advanced to second when Russell Martin's sharp grounder hit off Tulowitzki's glove. Nunez singled off Matt Belisle (5-3) and pinch-runner Chris Dickerson crossed home plate with a belly-flop slide.
Joba Chamberlain, out after having Tommy John surgery, immediately tweeted "Do it Nunez!!!" after the shortstop filling in for Derek Jeter, who turned 37 on Sunday, gave New York the lead.
