Chris Davis leads the American League with 46 home runs, representing the biggest challenge to Miguel Cabrera's second-straight Triple Crown season.

Cabrera has a comfortable lead in batting average (.359) and RBIs (130).

"As far as me being the obstruction for him doing it again, I hope he does do it again," Davis said. "That would be awesome. He's a great hitter. He deserves everything that he gets.

"My goal is not to go out there and keep Miguel Cabrera from winning the Triple Crown. It's to do everything I can to put us in position to win, whether that means I hit 10 more home runs or two more home runs. I've had a productive year so far, but if we don't make the playoffs, it doesn't really mean a lot."

Cabrera entered Tuesday with 43 home runs, three behind Davis.
