Tigers' Miguel Cabrera: Smashes 18th homer, drives in three Wednesday

Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a solo shot, three RBI and two runs in Wednesday's 10-3 crushing of the Marlins.

Analysis:

The Marlins were the last MLB team to give up a Cabrera homer -- partly because he spent the first five seasons of his career in Miami -- but the first baseman made up for lost time with two in less than 24 hours. His drive Wednesday off Dustin McGowan's 95-mph fastball hit off the brick wall behind the left-field seats, an estimated 459-foot drive, according to Statcast. It was career homer No. 426 for Miggy, tying him with Billy Williams on the all-time list. The veteran is slashing .301/.375/.542 through 299 at-bats this season.
