Tie Breaker

Miguel Cabrera hit the 450th home run of his career in his first game back from the disabled list. He broke a tie with Jeff Bagwell and Vladimir Guerrero. Those two alone were good company, and now Cabrera sets his sights on Carl Yastrzemski at 452.

I don’t think Cabrera will last long enough to reach 700 home runs, but I would not be surprised if he passed Willie Mays. He’ll need to stay a bit healthier, however, but I can see him matching the great finishes of both Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron.

Detroit leads Cleveland 5-1 after five innings.
