This century, only eight Tigers have accomplished the feat \u2014 including\u00a0Miguel Cabrera\u00a0twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McGonigle homered in the second inning for a 2-0 lead before Keith drilled his first homer of the night,\u00a0a 411-foot two-run shot, in the third.
