DETROIT -- Miggy is in the top 50, and he passed a Detroit Tigers legend to get there.
Miguel Cabrera’s single in the third inning of Game 2 of Saturday’s doubleheader was the 2,840th hit of his career, surpassing Tigers great Charlie Gehringer for sole possession of 50th place on the all-time list.
Cabrera is now one of 16 players to rank in the top 50 in hits, home runs and RBIs.
Cabrera is just four hits behind Ivan Rodriguez for 49th place on the all-time hits list. Rodriguez spent five of his 21 seasons with the Tigers.

Cabrera continues to climb the record books.
His single in Game 2 gave him 2,840 career hits, moving him into sole possession of 50th place — one ahead of Tigers Hall of Famer Charlie Gehringer. His homer in the fifth put him at 2,841 hits, three away from tying former Tigers catcher Pudge Rodriguez.
The home run was Cabrera's 482nd of his career (and his 1,999th hit for the Tigers), making him 11 away from tying Lou Gehrig and Fred McGriff for 28th in MLB history. He is among the top 50 all-time in hits, home runs and RBIs, one of 16 players to do so.
Although the historic marks are impressive, the Tigers are getting more production from Cabrera than they did earlier in the season. That should make a big difference in the team's performance in the second half.
In Cabrera's past six games, he is 10-for-21 with eight RBIs.
