Miguel Cabrera's 1st game back since his newest addition to his Family and boy was it his night, but no the Tigers night. Cabby went deep three times and in impressive fashion. He took his 1st home run to opposite field and over the right field wall.
"It impresses me everytime you see Miguel blast a seed to right field, I'm not sure if the casual baseball fan realizes just how hard it is to hit for power to the opposite field."
Miguel was not done there and was back at it again when pulled a Ben Sheet's inside fastball down the left field line for his 2nd home run of the night.
"Again Cabby was impressive as he took a fastball about 7 inches inside and pulled the ball down the line and gone."
Then it came down to the 9th inning and the Tigers found themselves down one run and Cabrera was slated to be the leadoff man in the 9th. Again Cabrera went deep and to left field of Oaklands young up and coming closer Andrew Bailey.
"Even after Cabrera's onslaught of 3 long balls the Tigers found themselves down one run with two outs in the 9th when Brandon Inge popped out to the 2nd baseman to end the game."
The Tigers ended up losing the game 5-4. We'll lets just say it was Miguel Cabrera 4, Oakland 5. After the game Tigers manager Jim Leyland said it was a great day for Cabrera and not such a good day for the Tigers.
It's good to have Cabrera back in the middle of the lineup, and on another note Carlos Guillen is back and I thought he looked great at 2nd base with some quick double play turns and good footwork.
Last but not least I would like to Congradulate Miguel Cabrera on is recent addition to his family with his new baby daughter. Lets hope Miguel will continue his hot start as he returned to the lineup. It would also be nice if someone else would come to help him.
