The action comes in bottom of the first inning. Cabrera would face to face against the pitcher born in Virginia, Daniel Lynch, who had only thrown 13 pitches so far. Lynch had the conviction to send the powerful Creole player straight to the dugout, but the player from Maracay had something else in mind.
“Miggy” waited for the correct ball. Lynch’s first whipping ended in a ball. However, the second pitch was the one expected by the triple-crowned to connect his fifth home run of the year at 411 feetalso achieving an exit speed of 102 MPH.
