Miguel Cabrera became the first Detroit Tiger to reach 500 home runs with his milestone hit against the Blue Jays on Sunday, becoming the 28th member of one of baseball's most esteemed clubs.
With the Tigers trailing Toronto 1-0 in the top of the sixth, Cabrera launched a 1-1 pitch from Steven Matz over the wall in right-centerfield. The Detroit dugout erupted in celebration, giving Cabrera a standing ovation with his 362nd home run for the franchise, before the slugger walked out for a curtain call.
Cabrera is the first Venezuelan international to hit 500 home runs and the first player to reach the milestone since David Ortiz in 2015.
