Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera hit rarified baseball air on Sunday. The 19-year veteran hit the 500th home run of his career and is now the 28th player in MLB history to reach the mark.
Cabrera took a changeup in the sixth inning against Toronto Blue Jays starter Steven Matz and put it 400 feet into right. It was a solo shot that evened the score, 1-1.
Cabrera's path to 500 home runs began in his first MLB game on June 20, 2003.
