Cabrera BM147662

The Pirates and the Twins played a doubleheader in Pittsburgh on April 25, 2018. Miguel Cabrera stepped into the batter’s box against Jameson Taillon in the top of the fourth inning with runners on the corners and two outs. Cabrera hit this ball 366 feet off the right-centerfield wall double, driving home Victor Reyes and Jeimer Candelario. This was the first of three doubles in the game, and it tied the game at 6 runs apiece. This ball was replaced, and Nicholas Castellanos hit the first pitch he saw over the centerfield wall to drive Cabrera home and put the Tigers ahead 8-6. The two teams would continue to battle combining for 23 runs in this game, with Detroit winning by a final score of 13-10, to take the first game of the doubleheader. Later in the day, Pittsburgh would beat the Tigers in the late game. When the day was done, the Tigers sat in second place with a 10-12 record, three games behind the Indians.
