Miguel Cabrera blasts home run No. 510 of his career
Future Hall of Fame Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera gave the fans at Comerica Park a thrill this afternoon, blasting his 510th home run and moving into 26th place on the MLB all-time home run list.
Cabrera's home run was the lone highlight of the afternoon
Prior to Miggy's blast, the Tigers hadn't put up much of a fight at all against the Astros and former fan favorite Justin Verlander. Heading into the bottom of the 8th inning, the Astros enjoyed a 14-0 lead as well as a 21-2 advantage in hits. The Tigers weren't able to capture any of the magic that propelled them to a dramatic comeback victory on Friday night, eventually dropping what would be their second straight loss to Houston by a 17-4 final score.

- With the blast, he's now No. 26 all time, passing former Tiger Gary Sheffield on the MLB home run list
Bottom Line: We were fortunate to be able to have Miggy for so long
We in the Motor City have certainly been treated to some of the greatest athletes in their respective sports suiting up for our teams, whether they be on the field, ice, or court.
It's going to be sad to see a legend like Miguel Cabrera hang up the cleats, but we're happy that he gave us so many memories over the years and will be a Detroit icon forever.
