Instead, the KC Royals picked on him.
Cabrera, the Detroit Tiger who’s made the Royals miserable for most of his 19-year major league career, had a chance Saturday night to do to them what he’s done so many times before, and did as recently as Friday evening when his grand slam and another homer destroyed them.
And here he was less than 24 hours later, standing in the Kauffman Stadium batter’s box amid a scene feeling eerily like the night before.
