Miguel Cabrera hits 499th homer, Tigers handle Orioles 5-2
Miguel Cabrera hit his 499th career home run, part of a three-hit night for the Detroit slugger that helped the Tigers hand the Baltimore Orioles their seventh straight loss, 5-2AUGUST 12, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Records 499th career home run Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's win over the Orioles.
Impact Cabrera went deep in the fifth inning off Matt Harvey for his 12th home run of the season and the 499th of his storied career. He had a chance to get No. 500 later in the game but had to settle for a sacrifice fly instead. Cabrera has been playing well lately with a .380 average and five home runs across his last 15 games. The veteran should remain particularly focused at the plate as he chases the milestone long ball, and fantasy managers may want to take a peek if he's able to keep up this level of production.
