CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Thursday afternoon's buzz was all about pitcher Jake Arrieta making his Grapefruit League debut, particularly when he struck out the first two batters.
Then Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera stepped into the box.
And he proceeded to do what Miguel Cabrera does.
Cabrera picked on Arrieta's 92-mph fastball, driving it onto the right-field berm at Spectrum Stadium, serving up more notice that he intends to rebound from a subpar, injury-riddled performance in 2017.
Cabrera was 2-for-4 in the Tigers' 6-2 victory over the Phillies.
