Miguel Cabrera's chase for 3,000th hit on hold as Colorado Rockies-Detroit Tigers opener rained out

DETROIT -- History is on hold in the Motor City.

Miguel Cabrera's quest for his 3,000th hit was delayed for at least one more day when the game between the Detroit Tigers and Colorado Rockies scheduled for Friday night was rained out.

The game was called about an hour before it was supposed to begin at Comerica Park. Cabrera has 2,999 career hits, a total he reached with a three-hit game on Wednesday.

Cabrera acknowledged the milestone means a lot to him, adding he has been emotional just thinking about it this week.
