Detroit — J.D. Martinez was an eye-witness to 92 of Miguel Cabrera’s home runs when he was playing for the Tigers from 2014-2017. Before he came out for batting practice Tuesday, his first trip back to Comerica Park since 2019, he wanted to know where Miggy stood on his quest for 500 homers.
His line of sight was directed to the large green and white counter atop the brick wall behind the bullpens in left field.
“Oh, crap!” he said.
Exactly.
Martinez got to witness another one Tuesday night, as the Tigers beat his Red Sox 4-2 in the first of a three-game set.
