Tigers' Miguel Cabrera: Leads Tigers past Phillies with two bombs

Cabrera went 3-for-3 with a walk, two homers, a double, two RBI and three runs in Monday's 5-4 victory over the Phillies.

Analysis:

Cabrera's second two-homer game in four days included an opposite-field loft in the third inning and a drive to left in the fifth, both of which tied the game. Both came off Phillies starter Vince Velasquez. Cabrera doubled to right-center off reliever Colton Murray (0-1) in the seventh, putting him in position to score the winning run on a single by Victor Martinez. Cabrera's double was the 500th of his career, making him the 62nd player to reach the mark. Monday was also his 20th career game going 3-for-3 or better with a home run. Only Barry Bonds (23) and Lou Gehrig (21) have more such games in major league history.
