How Detroit Tigers veteran Miguel Cabrera, rookie Casey Mize produced night to remember

Miguel Cabrera and Casey Mize couldn't help but smile on their way back to the dugout.

"Miggy, I didn't think I needed to go," said Mize, who made a late break to first base when Cabrera bobbled the ball on a grounder from speedy Cedric Mullins in the fifth inning. Mize, though, was quick enough to record the third out.

"Well, I'm glad you did papa," Cabrera said.

"We got him, so don't worry about it," Mize responded.

Cabrera is 38 years old; Mize is 24. Cabrera has played 19 years in the big leagues; Mize is in Year 2.
