Baltimore — One more.
Miguel Cabrera took the penultimate step toward the hallowed 500 home run plateau Wednesday night and was a catalyst in the Tigers’ 5-2 win over the Orioles.
In an eventful fifth inning at Orioles Park at Camden Yards, Cabrera broke a scoreless tie, turning on a 1-2 hanging curveball from Baltimore starter Matt Harvey and sending it over the wall in left field — home run No. 499.
He had singled in his first two at-bats, bringing his career hits total to 2,950.
"We were pumped for him," manager AJ Hinch said.
