1,736, a homer launched to left on a 3-1 pitch from Cleveland’s Chris Perez with two outs in the 10th inning to give the Tigers a 10-8 win on Aug. 681, a double to center in the 11th inning off Phillies righty Francisco Del Rosario to break a 4-4 tie on Apand No. Among those 38 extra-inning knocks, three ended the game: No. With 23 extra-inning walks, that still leaves him with a. That leaves 1.3% of his hits for extra innings - Cabrera has 38 hits in 169 career plate appearances after the ninth inning. And if we break down his innings into three-inning segments (to slightly adjust for the difference in hitting third, fourth or fifth), we get 1,095 hits in innings 1-3, 1,051 in innings 4-6 and 816 in innings 7-9, for a 36.5%/35%/27.2% split. 303 batting average in the first frame, that’s more hits than any other inning, though his totals for innings 3-8 range from 299-370. But he’s also a bit of an early bird special, with 545 of his hits (18.2%) in the first inning despite a. You could call Cabrera a night owl when it comes to hits, with 67.6% (2,027) in night games. The basesĬabrera’s next extra-base hit will tie him with fellow 3,000-hit club member George Brett, at 19th in MLB history, with 1,118. They may visit there next season, as a new balanced MLB schedule will feature every team playing every other team, though not necessarily home and away. The Tigers’ most recent visit to Atlanta came in 2019, while Cabrera was on the injured list. Good job by the Marlins of keeping Cabrera off second base.Īnd yet: There remains one MLB park Cabrera does not have a hit in yet - Atlanta’s Truist Park, which opened in 2017. Of those 15 hits, 13 were singles and two were home runs (both in late June 2016). The Marlins are the team Cabrera has his second fewest hits against, with 15 in 38 plate appearances from four series - one in 2013, two in 2016, and another in 2019. The Marlins were coming off a World Series title in 2004 while the Tigers were coming off a 119-loss season, so maybe those hits should come with an asterisk. The only two Tigers to not allow a hit? Lefty Nate Robertson (Gum Time!) and righty Al Levine (who allowed Cabrera’s first career hit, go figure). Miggy has five career hits off the Tigers (his fewest against any franchise), all from the Marlins’ Jun 11-13, 2004, series at Comerica Park - four singles and a homer in 13 plate appearances, off four of the six pitchers he faced. 1, Ty Cobb at 3,900.) The opposing uniformsĬabrera has at least five hits against every MLB franchise, including the two he has played for - doubly impressive since their division placement in the NL East and AL Central haven’t allowed for frequent meetings in the way, say, Jim Leyland finds his allegiances tested for the four games between the Tigers and Pirates in interleague play every season. Sam Crawford is probably out of reach, though, at 2,466 hits. Cabrera, who has said he plans to retire at the end of his contract, which expires after the 2023 season, needs another 208 hits to pass Tram (2.365), and four more after that to pass Lou Whitaker (2,369). Those 2,158 hits for Cabrera, in his 1,880th game with the franchise, are eighth-most in Tigers history he has an outside shot at catching Nos. A bit of back-of-the-envelope math tells us 71.9% of his hits have come as a Tiger, with his Detroit debut coming in 2008.
