There is a new member of baseball's hallowed 3,000-hit club.

Saturday against the Colorado Rockies, Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera slapped a single in his first at-bat of the game for his milestone 3,000th career hit. He is the 33rd member of Major League Baseball's 3,000-hit club.

The milestone hit comes one day after the series opener with the Rockies was postponed due to rain, and two days after the Yankees intentionally walked Cabrera when he was sitting on 2,999 hits. New York trailed Thursday's game 1-0 at the time and the Tigers had runners on second and third with two outs in the eighth inning. The move gave the Yankees the left-on-left matchup against Austin Meadows. Strategically, it was a sensible move, though it did backfire when Meadows doubled in two runs.
