For the 494th time in his career, Miguel Cabrera trotted around the bases.
And for the 50th time in his career, the 19-year MLB veteran did so against Cleveland. His home run simply served as a cushion for the Detroit Tigers in the fifth inning, but it put Cabrera six home runs away from the esteemed No. 500.
Riding a strong start from Wily Peralta, the Tigers (36-45) cruised to a 7-1 win over Cleveland in Game 2 of Wednesday's seven-inning doubleheader at Progressive Field. Detroit swept the doubleheader after picking up a 9-4 win in Game 1.
