LAKELAND, Fla. — The dog days of spring training officially arrived on Thursday afternoon with the arrival of the defending World Series champions.

Their most notable arrival? Former Detroit Tiger Don Kelly, who made the Astros’ inland trip from West Palm Beach to coach first base.

Otherwise, it was your run-of-the-mill late spring training game, highlighted by a monster home run from Miguel Cabrera, who caught up with a mid-90 mph fastball and hit it onto the left field berm for his third home run of the spring.
