Cabrera Wins Monthly AL Award Again
Miguel Cabrera, on the same day he was announced as the AL Player of the Month for August, hit his second two-run home run in as many games Wednesday night against Cleveland. Cabrera drove an 0-1 pitch into the right-field seats one out after CF Austin Jackson opened the first with a single. He hit .357 with eight home runs and 24 RBI in August. Cabrera and SS Alan Trammell (1984 and 1987) are the only two Tigers to win the award multiple times. Now in a virtual tie for the AL batting lead, Cabrera becomes a threat for the first Triple Crown since Carl Yastrzemski of Boston in 1967. "There might be somebody who saw somebody else with as much opposite-field power as him," manager Jim Leyland said, "but I wouldn't believe anybody in the history of the game ever has. Not that I've seen." Cabrera hit a sacrifice fly in the five-run eighth.
