The Hotness of Miguel

Kevin Baxter writes on the great season and streak by Miguel Cabrera:

His two hits Sunday gave Cabrera multiple hits in seven consecutive games and 49 multihit games this season, most in the National League.
He’s batting .556 in his past seven games, raising his season average to .340, second-best in the NL.
And his four RBI on Sunday gave him 82 for the season, moving him into the top 10 in the league and leaving him well ahead of pace for his third consecutive 100-RBI season.

And while the RBI don’t seem too outstanding, he’s done well with the opportunities given him. He’s hitting very well with runners in scoring position, helping him to rank high in RBI percentage.
