On this day, Detroit Tigers slugging third baseman Miguel Cabrera hit two home runs in a contest between his Club and the Chicago White Sox. After hitting a longball in the first inning for the 299th of his MLB career, Cabrera wasted no time in launching his 300th, which was belted just two innings later. Tigers fans, and the Detroit dugout, were elated with this milestone homer and Comerica Park erupted in applause in celebration.
