I don't have any love for the Detroit Tigers. They are my AL Central nemisis. But I have to give respect to Miguel Cabrera. The man can hit a baseball. Far. And often. In the Tigers' game in Arlington with the Rangers, Cabrera hit 3 home runs and drove in 5 runs, going 4-4 on the night. Thankfully, the Texas Rangers won 11-8, keeping the Indians in 1st place in the division. Cabrera is having a Triple Crown kind of year, hitting 11 home runs, 2nd in the AL to Mark Reynolds (CLE) Chris Davis (BAL) Edward Encarnacion (TOR) and Robinson Cano (NYY) who all have 12. He leads the league with a .387 batting average, better than the NL leader, Jean Segura's .364 average. He leads the league in RBI's at 47, 2nd place in the AL is Chris Davis with 40 and 1st in the NL is Colorado's Troy Tulowitzki at 37. Miggy's WARP is 2.3. He is one of the best hitters in baseball. He is on pace to hit 42 HR and 181 RBI's this season.
Having said that, in the 3 games the Tigers have played the Indians, Cabrera went 5-14. He batted .379, scored a run, drove in 3 runs, and struck out twice. The Indians won 2 of the 3 games the teams played.
