The Yankees guaranteed themselves at least a series win with the 5-3 victory in the middle game, but tonight was all about the Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera. He singled in his first three at-bats — the 241st three-hit game of his career — bringing him within one base knock of entering the 3,000 hit club. He will become the 33rd member of that elite group, and would join Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Eddie Murray, Rafael Palmeiro, Alex Rodriguez, and Albert Pujols as the seventh player in history with 3,000 hits and 500 home runs, having achieved the latter feat last season.
