Home Run #5

True Distance: 451
Hitter: Miguel Cabrera
Date: June 29, 2016
Opponent: Miami Marlins
Stadium: Comerica Park
Pitcher: Dustin McGowan

Miguel Cabrera did it again. This time it was at the expense of the Marlins’ Dustin McGowan. Miggy’s 18th homer of the season banged off brick wall in left field that honors a handful of Tiger legends.

Sort of ironic, really. Miggy’s solo bomb touched his future landing spot as one of the greatest players in Detroit Tigers history.
