Tigers 5, Blue Jays 3: Cabrera’s 500th homer comes with a stirring extra innings win

History was made in Toronto on Sunday. Miguel Cabrera launched home run number 500 of his Hall of Fame career in the sixth inning, and the Tigers rallied late to pull out a close fought game in 11 innings.

Drew Hutchison made his second start for the Tigers in this one, and it didn’t go badly, which is all we ask. The Tigers were pitching in and out of trouble all day long, and no doubt the Blue Jays had regrets as the game progressed, but Hutchison was able to get soft contact when he needed it, and the Blue Jays left a whole crate of LOBsters out there on the bases.
