The Great Tent ball will have the engagement between the Oakland Athletics and Detroit Tigers ninths inside the Comerica Park diamond from 7:10 a.m., with the spotlight set on Miguel Cabrera.
The Venezuelan toletero is looking for a connection that will place him alone in box number 34 among the players with the most hits in the history of the Major Leagues.
He is currently tied with Sam Crawford with 2,961 unstoppable, in addition to being 39 untouchables from the mark of the legendary 3,000 hits (e.g. Roberto Clemente ended his career with that amount).
By the time he manages to beat Crawford he will have Sam Rice (2,987) and Clemente (3,000) in the spotlight within that department’s roster.
While the mound duel will be between right-handed pitchers James Kaprielian on the side of Oakland (7-4 and 3.65 ERA) and Wily Peralta (3-3, net run percentage of 3.63).
Cabrera has a season with records, one of them the 500 home runs (he already has 501) and goes after the 1,800 driven (1787).
