The Tigers were eliminated by the Rangers in the ALCS, but first baseman Miguel Cabrera tied a Major League record in the six-game defeat. Cabrera erupted to hit .400 in the ALCS, capping it with two home runs in Saturday night's 15-5 Game 6 loss to the Rangers. His first-inning homer off Rangers starter Derek Holland tied the all-time record for an LCS hitting streak to open a career. It marked the slugger's 13th straight LCS game with a hit, dating to the 2003 NLCS with the Marlins against the Cubs. Cabrera shares the all-time record with Greg Luzinski. An outfielder and designated hitter who played from 1970 through 1984, Luzinski hit safely in 13 career LCS games beginning with the 1976 NLCS, when he was playing for the Phillies against the Reds. "What can you say about him?" Justin Verlander said. "He's the best hitter in baseball, I think. He showed it on the biggest stage."
