HBT: Cabrera rips three homers? |? Tigers lose

With a three-run home run to right-center in the third inning and a solo shot to straightaway center in the fifth ? his ninth and tenth of the season, respectively ? against Rangers starter Derek Holland, Miguel Cabrera put himself in a tie with Hall of Famer Hank Greenberg with 331 career home runs.

Cabrera, the defending AL MVP and the first player in 45 years to win a Triple Crown, bumped his league-leading average up to .384 and league-leading RBI total to 46, putting himself in prime position to win another Triple Crown. You know, if he feels like it.?Only two players have won multiple Triple Crowns: Rogers Hornsby in 1922 and ?25, and Ted Williams in 1942 and ?47.

Cabrera is one of 15 players all-time to have 330 or more career home runs before his 31st birthday. Assuming he hits at least another 30, he?ll move up to #12 on the list at least.

The list (as of this writing):

Update (11:35 PM): Miguel Cabrera hit his third home run of the night, a solo shot to center off of Tanner Scheppers. So he?s up to 332.
