Cabrera hit 500th home run in Tigers' best season since 2016 | |
DETROIT (AP) Miguel Cabrera joined the 500-home run club and the Detroit Tigers had their best season in five years. The historic feat was worth celebrating in late August, when Cabrera became the 28th major leaguer to reach the milestone. It allowed some joy for a team that finished 77-85 and in third place in the American League Central. Detroit manager AJ Hinch said his players believed they would beat the AL champion-White Sox to end of the regular season - and they did - carrying over a mindset he sensed developing at spring training.
