Detroit Tigers 1B/DH Miguel Cabrera makes history as he hits his 500th home run in Toronto in a 5-3 victory.

The Detroit Tigers always have had a flair for the dramatics against the Toronto Blue Jays. In 1987, it was Frank Tanana outdueling Jimmy Key on the last day of the regular season to win the AL East title.
