Cabrera helps the Tigers rout Royals
He matches his career high with five hits and six RBIs, and Matt Joyce has four hits and five RBIs in easy victory.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Miguel Cabrera matched his career high with five hits and six runs batted in and Matt Joyce had four hits and five RBIs as the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals, 19-4, on Monday night.
It was the third time this season that the Tigers scored 19 runs. The Boston Red Sox were the last team to accomplish that feat, scoring 19 or more four times in 1950, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
“Cabrera had a huge night as did a bunch of other guys,” Tigers Manager Jim Leyland said. “When his concentration is locked in, he’s going to hit big-time. When he’s locked in, he’s pretty impressive.”
Cabrera has 31 RBIs in his last 35 games to up his season total to 67, putting him among the American League leaders.
Royals reserve infielder Tony Pena Jr. pitched a perfect ninth.
