Miguel Cabrera Hits 499th Home Run Against Orioles

Aug 12, 2021 8:12 AM

Miguel Cabrera hit the 499th home run of his career in the fifth inning of the Detroit Tigers' 5-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night.

Cabrera hit the home run off Matt Harvey.

The Tigers have one more game on this road trip, and there was some thought Cabrera might sit out with No. 500 on the horizon.

"He's playing," AJ Hinch said, before he was even asked. "I've talked to him, and we're not going to test baseball fate. We really want him to hit it whenever he's supposed to hit it. Maybe it's [Thursday], maybe it's not."

Corbin Burnes Ties Record With 10 Straight Ks

Aug 12, 2021 8:00 AM

Corbin Burnes tied a Major League record by striking out 10 consecutive batters during the Milwaukee Brewers' 10-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night.

Burnes' record-tying strikeout came in the bottom of the fifth inning, when Frank Schwindel whiffed on an 88-mph slider.

Matt Duffy broke the string on the next pitch by singling to right field on a first-pitch fastball.

Burnes shares the record with Aaron Nola, who pulled the feat against the New York Mets in June, and Hall of Famer Tom Seaver, who set the mark against the San Diego Padres in 1970.
