1B Miguel Cabrera has not hit a home run since May 20 and only two since coming off the disabled list May 2, but manager Brad Ausmus professes not to be worried "in any way, shape or form. I think every year we've had this discussion about Miguel Cabrera. Is Miggy finally getting older" Is he struggling? The last two years kind of speak for themselves. Last year he had an unbelievable last two months, between he and (Justin) Upton (they) carried us offensively. I am not worried about Miguel Cabrera at all. I wish I struggled to hit .270." Cabrera doubled to right center (it was about two inches shy of being an RBI double) and singled to left in four at-bats Wednesday night.

1B Miguel Cabrera had a pair of doubles Tuesday night but it looked on both like he's having problems running. Cabrera never acknowledges any health issues until they're over so you have to watch every move to see if there's any sign of injury or illness. He was slow out of the box on his second double to right, which looked initially like it was going to be caught. He was very slow on his first double, to right center. Cabrera turned a sparkling 3-2-3 double play with the bases loaded and nobody out in the seventh to get Detroit out of a jam.

1B Miguel Cabrera drove in the 1,581st run of his career Saturday against the Red Sox, placing him one RBI shy of Al Kaline for 41st in MLB history.

1B Miguel Cabrera keeps moving up the lists in various hitting categories as he moves toward a Hall of Fame career. Cabrera had a pair of doubles, good for three RBIs on Friday night, to become just the 39th player in major league history to have 1,000 or more extra-base hits. He also added a sacrifice fly for a four-RBI night. Cabrera has 532 doubles and 451 home runs plus 17 triples for his extra base total of 1,000. He entered the game hitting just .260 with five home runs and 22 RBI. "Right now, I don't think there's anything wrong with Miggy," manager Brad Ausmus said pregame. "I feel like we've talked about Miggy in this vein every year I've been here. And every year he seems to end up hitting."
