Miguel Cabrera's bat offers rare consistency.
Miguel Cabrera not only became the first player in the Major Leagues this season to eclipse the 100-RBI mark on Tuesday, he also became the third Tiger to do so in three straight seasons.

Cabrera joins Harry Heilmann, who knocked in 100-plus from 1923-29, and Charlie Gehringer, who did it from 1932-36. The 29-year-old has driven in more than 100 runs in nine straight seasons overall, also accomplishing the feat in each of his final four seasons with the Marlins.

Manager Jim Leyland isn't jaded by what has seemingly become automatic production from Cabrera every year.
"I marvel at him all the time," Leyland said. "I probably don't brag on him as much as I should. This guy's just -- I don't really know what kind of adjectives to describe him. He's so talented, so gifted, so strong."

Leyland pointed toward mechanics as the reason for Cabrera's consistent success.
"He's not a muscle hitter," Leyland said. "He has nice elasticity in his swing, and fluid. Just a great swing. I definitely think he's the best all-around hitter in the American League, without question."

Cabrera added to his success in the first inning on Wednesday, hitting a solo homer to become the first Tigers player to hit at least 30 long balls in five straight years.

"I won't be around here to see it, but he'll have five more with 100 [RBIs], unless he gets hurt," Leyland said. "That's going to go on for a while yet. He's a terrific hitter. He can hit the ball 450-500 feet. And he can hit it over the first baseman's head or down the left-field line."

Scherzer's 10th game w/ 9+ K this season -- most in MLB and most by Tigers pitcher since Verlander had 10 in '09.
Scherzer has 8+ strikeouts in 6 straight games -- longest streak by a Tigers pitcher since Verlander had six from 4/27-5/25/09.
Only Hal Newhouser (7 games from 8/25-9/22/46) has posted a longer streak of 8+ strikeout games since at least 1918.

"It's not about one person. I'm more excited because we're winning today," Cabrera said.

The time to look back will come later.

"When my career's over?" he said, smiling. "It's a long way to go to talk about my numbers. That's good, but Detroit's seen a lot of great players."

Cabrera went 6 for 14 in this series and 10 for 24 on the trip. He's a .411 hitter at Target Field, with five home runs in 90 at-bats here.

August 16 in Tigers and mlb history:

1903 - Toledo native George Mullin, pitching for the Tigers, helps the attendance today (6,000) as the Tigers take on New York in a Sunday game in Toledo. Mullin is racked for eight runs, but Detroit scores 12, led by the hitting of Sam Crawford, who is 5 for 6.

1910 - The Tigers top the Senators 8 - 3, with Ty Cobb stealing home for the second time in his career. It comes in the 4th inning with Bob Groom on the mound.

1915: In the second game of a doubleheader, Tiger rookie Bernie Boland no-hits Cleveland through 26 batters before Ben Paschal singles, his first and only hit of the year. Boland wins 3 - 1.

1948 - Babe Ruth dies of throat cancer at age 53 in New York. He will lie in state at Yankee Stadium and be viewed by more than 100,000 mourners.

1968: Detroit's Denny McLain is 16-0 on the road after blanking the Red Sox, 4 - 0 in Boston. Tigers catcher Bill Freehan is hit by a pitch in three consecutive plate appearances, painfully tying a major league record. He will be hit a record-tying 24 times this season.

1982 - Richie Hebner returns to the Pirates, who buy the veteran from the Tigers.

2002: After four days of delaying the decision, the executive board of the Major League Baseball Players Association votes 57-0 to set an August 30 strike date. All eight previous negotiations since 1972 have resulted in work stoppages in the national pastime.
