Miguel Cabrera

DETROIT -- The crowd at Comerica Park started chanting as soon as Tucker Barnhart threw out DJ LeMahieu at second base to end the top of the eighth inning.

On the eighth pitch of the at-bat, Cabrera centered a fastball on the inner half and sent a ground ball through the middle. Cabrera worked a full count against Severino in the fourth inning, extending the battle by fouling off a changeup and a 97 mph fastball. Cabrera hit the first pitch he saw from former Tigers prospect Chad Green in the sixth inning. On the eighth pitch of the at-bat, Cabrera centered a fastball on the inner half and sent a ground ball through the middle. The crowd hushed as Clay Holmes, facing Cabrera for the second night in a row, put him in an 0-2 hole on back-to-back sliders. “He got to first base pretty quick and he got good at-bats. Cabrera’s first hit was a second-inning slow roller to the left side that left third baseman DJ LeMahieu with no play. The pitch broke his bat, but the ball skipped past LeMahieu and through the left side as the crowd roared.\n\n“As you can see with Miggy, when he puts some good at-bats together, he can put some hits together quickly,” Hinch said. Cabrera declined to chase an 0-2 sinker off the plate at 96 mph, but it set up Holmes' 97 mph sinker up and in quite nicely, sending Cabrera down on a foul tip.\n\n“Glad he didn't get it in that spot,” Boone said, “but yeah, he's knocking on the door.”\n\nThe atmosphere was electric. “He might hit in the first.”\n\nMore important to Cabrera at the moment, a win would avoid a series sweep to the Yankees and end a three-game losing streak.\n\n“I hope we win,” Cabrera said.\n\nThe Tigers never led Wednesday, but Cabrera’s three-hit attack helped keep them competitive throughout, while putting him on the brink of history. The 89.5 mph exit velocity made it his hardest hit of the night.\n\nCabrera hit the first pitch he saw from former Tigers prospect Chad Green in the sixth inning. While he needs one hit to become the 33rd member of the 3,000-hit club, a double would make him the third player in Major League history with 3,000 hits, 500 homers and 600 doubles.\n\nYes, Hinch confirmed, Cabrera will play Thursday. First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. ET, and the game can be watched live on MLB.TV.\n\n“I’d get here early,” Hinch advised.

Miguel Cabrera made a run at history in the Yankees' 5-3 win over the Tigers on Wednesday night and fell just short.

I’m glad he didn’t get in that spot, but he’s knocking on the door.” “The roar leading up to it, then silence on every pitch. DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera made a run at history in the Yankees’ 5-3 win over the Tigers on Wednesday night and fell just short.

Cabrera hit a bouncer to third base in the second inning of Wednesday night's game against the New York Yankees. He started chugging down to first -- clocked at ...

He was thrown out thanks to a nice throw by Yankees right fielder Giancarlo Stanton and an excellent tag by LeMahieu. Reyes was then thrown out trying to steal second and the Tigers’ big inning fizzled. The next batter, Victor Reyes, singled to right field and Cabrera decided to try to advance to third. When he reaches the big milestone, Cabrera will join only six other players in baseball history who have both 500 home runs and 3,000 hits: Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Rafael Palmeiro, Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez and Eddie Murray.

Miguel Cabrera slapped three singles and is now one hit away from 3000 in his career; the Detroit Tigers however lost to the New York Yankees, 5-3.

... I thought he kept it together pretty well and threw the ball as well as he has in any of his strarts." "I thought he threw the ball great," Hinch said. "I tried my best to get to that inning, and at least I was able to go six. "He stopped a really big offense like the Yankees. Hopefully, we can do the same tomorrow and score more runs." I was the leadoff guy that inning, and I struck out. The runs will follow the good at-bats." "He's swinging the bat really well," Hinch said. "He's been in a good place," Hinch said. In the second, Victor Reyes pushed an RBI single to right field for a 1-0 lead. "I didn't hit the ball hard today, and I got three hits," Cabrera said. "I was very encouraged by our at-bats," Hinch said. Righty Jason Foley pitched a scoreless top of the ninth on 11 pitches.

Miguel Cabrera had three hits to move one shy of 3000 in the Detroit Tigers' 5-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Wednesday night at chilly Comerica Park.

“I'm not playing well enough to be in the starting lineup every day,” said Gallo, who is hitting .121 with no homers and no RBIs. He entered the game as a defensive replacement but did not bat. Isiah Kiner-Falefa lined the next pitch to center for a 4-3 lead. With the fans falling eerily silent every time Clay Holmes went into his windup, Cabrera struck out on a 1-2 sinker.

In the bottom of the sixth, Jeimer Candelario and Cabrera reached on singles against Yankees reliever and former Tiger Chad Green. Three batters later, Harold ...

Tigers reliever Drew Hutchison walked the first batter he faced in the top of the seventh, then fielded a comebacker to the mound and hurled the ball into center field. “Tonight was another winnable game if we execute some plays and play a cleaner brand that we’ve been accustomed to the last year or so.” Tigers starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez had his best outing as a Tiger Wednesday, allowing three runs in six innings of work.

Ben Verlander talks with Spencer Torkelson about his Tigers debut and all the support he has received from Miguel Cabrera.

Major League Baseball Born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, Verlander was an All-American at Old Dominion University before he joined his brother, Justin, in Detroit as a 14th-round pick of the Tigers in 2013. Major League Baseball "I was excited," Torkelson said. In Kansas City last week, he blasted his second homer of the year. "So there was a little panic, but I knew I did well in spring.

Joey Votto tweeted about how Miguel Cabrera has impacted the game of baseball, as Cabrera sets off to reach 3000 career hits.

It’s clear that even other baseball legends, like Joey Votto, are appreciating just how much of an impact Cabrera has had on the game of baseball. The eyes of nearly every Detroit Tigers fan were trained on Miguel Cabrera against the New York Yankees on Tuesday night, and they witnessed him inch closer to the 3,000 hit milestone. The Detroit Tigers dropped the series opener (and plenty of pop ups) on Tuesday night, but Miguel Cabrera tacked on another hit.

DETROIT -- When Miguel Cabrera stepped to the plate to lead off the eighth inning Wednesday night at Comerica Park, it was his first at-bat on the precipice ...

So I’ve just got to say thanks to God for the opportunity to be here and watch it in person.” “He’s in a good place, and he’s been in a good place,” Hinch said. “I know it’s going to be something special for everybody. “I think he’s handled all of this -- even dating back to 500 last year -- with a ton of class and dignity and humor and passion and appreciation. “I’ll be able to tell you tomorrow after he hits it,” Rodriguez said. “It was a special moment, but at the same time I’ve got to do my job and get on base in that situation,” Cabrera said.

Detroit Tigers' superstar Miguel Cabrera drew honest praise from Joey Votto as he approaches 3000 career hits.

I know there’s a lot of eyes on me. Miguel Cabrera is on the fast track to the Hall-of-Fame. He has already clubbed over 500 home runs and drove in over 1,800 runs in his career. I know there’s a lot of pressure. @MiguelCabreraI used to low-key creep your at-bats in my hotel room EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, after our games. I try to go out there and play my best baseball. Joey Votto is a character.

Sure, the Yankees wouldn't mind seeing Tigers slugger and future Hall of Famer Miguel Cabrera reach his 3000th hit Thursday. But that's not all.

I looked up to him when I was younger and still do for everything he’s done.” Glad he didn’t get it in that spot but, yeah, he’s knocking on the door now.” “His last at-bat, when he had the opportunity to get there, it was a pretty interesting feeling in the ballpark,” Boone said. ‘I’ve never seen a crowd get like that and go silent.’ It was kind of almost eerie. But it would go silent as the pitch came in. In the second inning Wednesday, Cabrera legged out an infield single, sending a tapper to third baseman DJ LeMahieu who couldn’t make the throw to first in time.

Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Yankees. For the second time in his last five games, Cabrera had a three-hit night with ...

Miguel Cabrera is closing in on being the first Venezuelan player to log 3000 MLB hits. His impact is not lost on his countrymen playing for the Miami ...

“He’s in the back end of his career,” Rojas said, “but he’s still doing great things. “He’s the best born player from Venezuela and I’m happy for him.” In time, Garcia got to see a portion of Cabrera’s dominant run in person as a teammate. “For me,” Rojas said, “he was always the guy. He’s got good hands; he’s a good fielder, and he’s a good hitter with projected power. He’s a big figure, not just in baseball, but outside the game as well because of all the things that he’s done in Venezuela.” “All of us Venezuelans feel so proud of the way that Miguel Cabrera is reaching more and more goals,” Rojas said. “It was a gap-to-gap approach. Rojas, the Marlins’ de facto captain, knows those are lofty expectations for himself but he doesn’t let that deter him from dreaming big or learning from one of the best Venezuela has to offer. He’s 16 years old, playing in front of all of these people. “Everybody’s paying attention to what he’s doing right now,” said Aguilar, who was born in Maracay like Cabrera. “I’ve been watching him. For Rojas, the connection was simple.

Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera, right, celebrates scoring with Jeimer Candelario against the New York Yankees in the sixth inning of a baseball game in ...

The Tigers (4-7) have lost the first two games of the series to the Yankees (7-5). The finale starts at 1:10 p.m. at Comerica Park. Veteran right-hander Michael Pineda will start for the Tigers in his Detroit debut. DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera will be in the clean-up spot for the first time this season in the series finale Thursday afternoon against the New York Yankees.

The Detroit Tigers are only eleven games into their calendar, but for some it already feels like Thursday's afternoon matchup with the New York Yankees is a ...

We’ll bet that he does, so if you’re able, it’s a good day to get to the ballpark and hopefully see something very special. If that doesn’t change it’s probably going to be another long day in the D, whether Miggy collects his 3000th hit or not. As for Jordan Montgomery, the 29-year-old southpaw battled through some injury plagued years to emerge as a good mid-rotation starter over the past two seasons. So far, a Tigers’ offense that added a lot of power to the lineup this offseason has not produced in that department. The rotation, offense, and defensive performances have been lackluster, and only solid work from the bullpen and a couple of timely hits have separated them from a really ugly record to start the year. The Tigers’ defense is going to be tested as well, and so far they have been decidedly lacking. Montgomery tends to pound the bottom of the zone with sinkers, and that’s really the only pitch that has been hit hard in recent years. Pineda made two short starts for the Toledo Mud Hens to tune up, and while he wasn’t particularly sharp, he looked very Michael Pineda-like. There is probably a little rust to be worked through, and the Tigers won’t be able to push him too deep into this one with only 6 1⁄3 innings thrown thus far, but it doesn’t look like Pineda will need much time to reach 100 percent. As a team, the Tigers need to settle down and right the ship, but for the moment, the big man will continue to take center stage. Once he’s got strike one, he’s quite good at expanding the zone with his secondary pitches. After a three-hit game on Wednesday, the Tigers’ legend is only one hit from reaching the 3000 hit plateau. Only Hank Aaron and Willie Mays have topped 3000 hits, and 500 home runs, while maintaining a .300 or better batting average for their career.

Cabrera could make history on Thursday vs. the Yankees after getting hit No. 2999 on Wednesday night.

Cabrera, as a result, will be just the seventh member of the 3,000-hit club to have also homered 500 or more times, joining Henry Aaron, Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols, Willie Mays, Rafael Palmeiro, and Eddie Murray. Who might be next after Cabrera to get to 3,000 hits? Cabrera spent five years with the Marlins in total, receiving Most Valuable Player Award consideration in each of them. Just last season, Cabrera hit his 500th career home run. He'll have a chance to make history on Thursday afternoon, as Detroit hosts New York at 1:10 p.m. ET. Cabrera is hitting cleanup Thursday. His first hit, as fate would have it, was a walk-off home run.

Cabrera is trying to become the 33rd major leaguer to reach 3000 hits, and just the seventh to reach 3000 hits and 500 home runs.

Cabrera is trying to become the 33rd major leaguer to reach 3,000 hits, and just the seventh to reach 3,000 hits and 500 home runs. Miguel Cabrera will hit fourth Thursday against the New York Yankees, as he tries to reach 3,000 hits. Here's a look at where Miguel Cabrera will bat today in the Tigers order

Detroit Tigers veteran Miguel Cabrera enters Thursday's game one hit from the historic 3000 milestone. He will be the 33rd player to reach the mark.

the Yankees: "I don't want to hurt peoples feeling, but it's the Yankees. At some point in my career, when I signed (in 2003), a scout from the Yankees said, 'If you're going to make it to the big leagues, you're going to be a pitcher.' They fired him. On moving down in the batting order: "I said to skip (A.J. Hinch), make the lineup better. They know what (the pitcher is) going to throw. When he's in the lineup, we're going to be dangerous. It's not fair to say, 'Oh, I get 3,000 because of me.' No, I get 3,000 because of my teammates, my coaches, my manager, everyone." "He showed me a dance," Cabrera said. "He takes walks and doesn't swing at bad pitches," Cabrera said. "I said, 'I can't dance.' He told me I have to do something. You are a joy to watch." "I will bunt today, first pitch," Cabrera said, laughing. Playing for the Florida Marlins, he launched a walk-off home run in the 11th inning to beat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He is one hit away from becoming the 33rd player in MLB history to reach 3,000 hits.

That put him at 2,999 for his career, with enough baseball left for a shot at 3,000 before the end of the night. Tigers fans, heading into this series, were not ...

They’ll be on their way to the park as I type this, or figuring out how to surreptitiously watch from work, or making their lunch before settling in on the couch. Cabrera, facing Clay Holmes, hit a foul ball on the first pitch that sounded closer to fair on the radio than it looked on TV. He swung and missed at a slider that dipped beautifully below the zone. Cabrera’s batting in the cleanup spot today at 1 p.m. ET in the series finale, and this time I will figure out a way to see him swing with my own eyes. I got back to my apartment just in time, during a commercial break in the middle of the eighth, then stupidly realized that, because the Tigers were playing New York and I live in New York, this game was blacked out for me on MLB TV. So I made the calculation to keep following the game as I was, pacing around my apartment, arguing with myself the impossibility of Cabrera actually getting all four in one night vs. Shortly after 2,999 I was hustling home with the Tigers radio broadcast in my headphones, listening to the Yankees take a 5-3 lead thanks primarily to poor defense. It started to feel magical in the sixth, when Cabrera broke his bat on an absurdly inside Chad Green pitch but still somehow managed to put a ball in play that avoided the Yankees infield.

Barring a major drought, it's likely Cabrera will be celebrating his milestone at home. The Tigers play their next four games at Comerica Park, beginning a ...

Further narrowing down Cabrera's company, he will become the seventh player to get to 3,000 hits while also raking 500 home runs. With his Triple Crown in 2012, Cabrera will become one of just three players to win a Triple Crown and get to 3,000 hits for his career. 32 players have 3,000 hits heading into Thursday, with Cabrera poised to become No. 33.

Venezolano Miguel Cabrera está a un hit de los 3.000 en las Grandes Ligas La noche de este miércoles se fue de 4-3 ante los Yanquis y se ponchó en su último turno ante los envíos de Clay Holmes, tras ir de 3-3, dejando todo servido para hacerlo ante el propio conjunto neoyorquino en el Comerica Park, sede de su equipo los Tigres de Detroit.

DETROIT -- Miguel Cabrera's chase for his 3000th hit in the series finale with the Yankees ended instead with his 236th career intentional walk.

He walked to the netting between the dugout and home plate, waved hello to fans and posed for a photo with his son, who was seated with the rest of his family nearby. Cabrera gestured for fans to calm down as they continued to boo. It wasn’t what fans had in mind as they flocked to Comerica Park, but the ensuing 3-0 win on Thursday afternoon was just fine for Cabrera.

When the inning ended, Cabrera put out his hands as if to tell the crowd of 21,529 that he was OK with how things went. "The left-on-left, I felt like the matchup -- I just liked it a little bit better in that situation and it came down to a baseball call for me there," Boone said. But the crowd at Comerica Park voiced its displeasure with the intentional walk, loudly booing and chanting "Yankees suck" as Cabrera took his free pass to first.

He got a second called strike on a fastball and then came back with his first curve to get Cabrera swinging. He tried to check his swing on a high fastball but was rung up on appeal by first base umpire Adam Hamari. Jeimer Candelario lined out to end the third inning with Cabrera on deck. Cabrera swung and missed at the first pitch, a 91 mph fastball. It was a routine flyout but it looked like more off the bat. Cabrera, while on the on-deck circle, called for his son, Christopher, who was seated with his family a few rows behind home plate.
