Miguel Cabrera on 3,000 hits: 'Just don't try to put pressure on myself and go from there'

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Miguel Cabrera makes hitting look so easy

Like Thursday night, when the 38-year-old — turning 39 Monday — went 3-for-4 in the Detroit Tigers' 4-2 win over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.

Cabrera has 2,994 hits over his 20-year MLB career, six shy of becoming the 33rd MLB player to reach 3,000 hits.

"If we want to be good this year, we got to win within our division," Cabrera said Thursday. "We got to play good baseball and try to play over .500 to give us a chance to make the playoffs.
