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."
