Miguel Cabrera one hit away from 3,000; Detroit Tigers lose again to Yankees, 5-3

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera is one hit away from another historic milestone.

The 39-year-old veteran tallied three singles in the Tigers' 5-3 loss against the New York Yankees on Wednesday at Comerica Park, leaving him at 2,999 career hits entering Thursday's series finale.

The Tigers play three home games against the Colorado Rockies from Friday through Sunday. With one more hit, Cabrera will become the 33rd player in MLB history to reach 3,000 hits.

Doing so will make the 20-year MLB veteran the seventh player in history with 500 home runs and 3,000 hits.
