Cabrera hits milestone during monstrous night at plate
Miguel Cabrera looks to be back in form.
Hours after earning American League co-player of the week with teammate Cameron Maybin, Cabrera teed off against the Philadelphia Phillies, setting a milestone in the process.
Cabrera became the 62nd player in MLB history to reach the 500-double mark with a seventh-inning two-bagger off right-hander Colton Murray.

Not only did Cabrera reach a milestone, but he also swatted two home runs in the contest off dominating Phillies starter Vince Velasquez, who has looked unhittable at times during the season.

Cabrera, who was hitting just .204 on April 24, has torn the cover off the ball since and is currently slashing .327 with an OPS of .989.
