Detroit Tigers‘ Miguel Cabrera crossed an MLB milestone when he became the 28th major league player to hit 500 home runs. He reached the milestone in the sixth inning Sunday as the Tigers played the Toronto Blue Jays.

The 38-year-old Cabrera connected on a 1-1 pitch from left-hander Steven Matz, sending the ball over the scoreboard in right-center field. The home run tied the score 1-all.

Fans at Rogers Centre gave Cabrera a standing ovation as he rounded the bases. The Tigers slugger later came out of the dugout to accept a curtain call, taking off his helmet and bowing to the crowd behind the first base dugout.

Cabrera, who won the Triple Crown and the first of back-to-back MVP awards in 2012, is the first Venezuelan to hit 500 home runs. He is hoping to become the first hitter to reach 500 homers and 3,000 hits in the same season.

His 500th home run was hit No. 2,955 of his career, according to the Associated Press. He can also reach the milestone of 3,000 career hits this year if he can stay injury-free and average one hit per game. Only six players have 3,000 hits and 500 home runs in the Major League. These players are Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Rafael Palmeiro, Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez, and Eddie Murray.
