The MLB’s prestigious 500 homer run club recently got a new member. Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera reached the elusive mark on Sunday night, hitting a 400-footer against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Cabrera’s 500th homer came in the sixth-inning off Steven Matz’s pitch. It tied the score to 1-1 and paved the way for the Tigers to get the 5-3 win.

After the well-deserved win, Cabrera’s teammates joined in to celebrate his achievement. And he responded by thanking them for their continued support and for being there every step of the way.

“He just thanked us for all the support,” revealed Detroit’s manager A.J. Hinch. “He wanted this for us as much as we wanted it for him.”

Cabrera is only the 28th player in MLB history to reach the 500 homers mark and the first to do so as a member of the Detroit Tigers. The 38-year-old baseball player is currently the only active player in the club besides Los Angeles Dodgers’ Albert Pujols.

After reaching the 500 home runs, Cabrera now has a new challenge. He is aiming to reach 3,000 hits in MLB, something that has been done by just 32 players before. If he succeeds in doing so, he will also become just the sixth player in both clubs.

Miguel Cabrera joined the Tigers in 2008 after spending the first five years of his career with the Marlins. In Tigers’ uniform, he received seven All-Star nods while winning AL MVP honors twice. He was also AL Batting Champion four times, including a three-year sweep from 2011 to 2013.

MLB didn’t take long to issue a discipline for incidents that happened in the game between Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees. It was a game full of fights, bench clearings, and ejections. Few smaller incidents culminated when first baseman Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers punched Yankees catcher Austin Romine in the sixth inning. The game ended up with a tally of 3 bench clearings and 8 ejections. The Tigers eventually took the game 10-6 in their favor. Check out all the discipline below, provided by MLB.com

Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera has been handed the most severe punishment, receiving 7 games suspension for “inciting the first bench-clearing incident and fighting.” Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez received a 4 games suspension for “fighting, including throwing punches.” Pitcher Alex Wilson of the Tigers also got a 4 games suspension for “intentionally throwing a pitch at Todd Frazier of the Yankees while warnings were in place for both sides.” Yankees catcher Austin Romine, who found himself at the receiving end of Cabrera’s punch throwing spree, was handed a 2 games suspension for “fighting, including throwing punches.” Besides the players, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus also received a suspension. He got 1 game off for “the intentional actions of Wilson while warnings were in place.” All of them also received undisclosed fines in the process.

The fines were also handed to Yankees manager Joe Girardi, Yankees bench coach/acting manager Rob Thomson, Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner, Yankees pitcher Tommy Kahnle and Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias for their involvement in the incidents. Yankees first baseman Garrett Cooper and outfielder Clint Frazier were fined for entering the field while being on the disabled list.

The suspensions and fines are effective immediately after their announcement, with players being allowed to appeal. In case that Wilson appeals on his suspension, Brad Ausmus’ suspension will begin the same day as Wilson’s.

If you didn’t catch an MLB game between Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees, you’ve missed a lot. Unfortunately, we are not talking about a spectacular game, but the things that surrounded the clash between these two teams. The fans were in for a series of brawls, punches exchange and ejections. Tigers’ pitcher Michael Fullmer first hit NY Yankees Gary Sanchez with a pitch, and then Yankees pitcher Tommy Kahnle tried to do the same to Miguel Cabrera from the Tigers in the sixth inning. Cabrera approached Yankees catcher Austin Romine and pushed him, before throwing a punch. This caused a huge brawl while benches cleared. Both Cabrera and Romine were ejected. You can check out the video of the two fighting below.

It didn’t stop there since there was obviously more bad blood between Tigers and Yankees. In the seventh inning, Dellin Betances of the Yankees hit Tigers James McCann with a 98 mph fastball in the head. This caused another bench clearing and resulted in the ejection of Betances and Yankees manager Rob Thompson. But wait, there was more. Eight inning saw Yankees Todd Frazier getting hit by pitcher Alex Wilson of the Tigers. Benches were cleared once again, and Wilson was ejected alongside manager of the Tigers, Brad Ausmus. This time there was no fighting, and everything settled with some pushes. The both teams are in for some suspensions and heavy fines. In case you still want to know the final score, the game ended with a 10-6 win in favor of the Tigers. The two teams will not play against each other again in this regular season.

This wasn’t the first time these two teams had beef between each other. Jason Beck, Tigers beat reporter on MLB.com, pointed out on his Twitter profile that the teams had issues in July when Kahnle hit Tigers Mikie Mahtook and Fulmer hit Yankees Jacoby Ellsbury.

Worth noting these teams had issues July 31 at Yankee Stadium. Kahnle hit Mikie Mahtook. Fulmer hit Jacoby Ellsbury the next inning.
