For the first time, Detroit Tigers veteran Miguel Cabrera put the Detroit Red Wings' helmet on his head upon entering the dugout. He strutted through the dugout, grabbed the hockey stick and shot a puck into the mini-net.
The 40-year-old capped off his team's home run celebration with an unforeseen twist when he used the hockey stick to emulate putting a sword into a sheath on his hip. It was Cabrera's first homer of the 2023 season.
In the first two innings of Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader at Comerica Park, the Tigers hit three home runs and scored four runs off right-hander Spencer Strider, one of the best pitchers in baseball.
