HBT: Cabrera reaches 30-HR plateau for 5th straight

Miguel Cabrera got to 100 RBI last night. On Wednesday, he reached 30 homers by taking Minnesota?s Cole De Vries deep in his first at-bat. In so doing, he became the first player in Tigers history to reach to hit 30 homers in five straight seasons.

Surprisingly enough, just 18 different Tigers have had 30-homer seasons. Hank Greenberg leads the way with six (he had four in a row from 1937-40). Cabrera joins Norm Cash and Cecil Fielder with five apiece.

Besides Cabrera, Curtis Granderson is the only other player to hit 30 homers for the Tigers in the last 10 years, doing so in 2009. Bobby Higginson had his lone 30-homer season in 2000, while Tony Clark and Dean Palmer both got there in 1999.
