While the Tigers were busy sweeping a doubleheader from Cleveland for the first time in living memory, Miguel Cabrera put another exclamation point on an outstanding career, drilling a fastball over the wall in right center field in game two for his 494th home run.
In the process, Cabrera left Lou Gehrig and Fred McGriff behind, seizing the 28th all-time position for his own, but the next move will take some time. To catch Orioles great Eddie Murray, Cabrera will need another 10 home runs. Gary Sheffield lurks beyond at 509. All of that will probably have to wait for 2022.
Cabrera?s hot streak may not last, but he?s actually had a very productive June at the plate. After the bicep issue early in the season, and a lack of hard contact in the air, things weren?t looking great, but he?s swinging the bat much better. The odds of him reaching 500 with half the season remaining seems pretty good right about now.
Miguel Cabrera is hitting .333/.360/.488 this June. He?s not walking and his BABIP is like .450
It was also a big month for Cabrera. With a pair of two-hit games in the twin bill, he closed out June batting .329 (28-for-85) for the month with five doubles, three home runs and 14 RBIs, his first full month batting over .300 since June 2019. In the process, he has taken what had been a sub-.200 batting average as recently as June 13 and pushed it to .240.
The Tigers have the day off on Thursday as they head home for a Holiday weekend series against the division leading White Sox. They find themselves in third place, 12 games behind Chicago at the mid point of the season. The three rookies- Skubal, Mize, and Manning figure to get the starts against the Sox.
After that, the Tigers? next 25 games, through August 1st, are all against the Twins, Rangers, Royals, and Orioles. Detroit has a better record than all of them. Just saying....

The club closed out June winning seven of its last 10 games against the Indians, Astros, Cardinals and Angels.
