Miguel Cabrera gives opposing pitcher thumbs up after striking out

Published May. 24, 2016 10:15 p.m. ET

Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera has been one of the more difficult batters to strike out this season. The two-time MVP entered Tuesday's game against the Phillies having not struck out in the past nine games.

But Cabrera's streak of not striking out came to an end in the third inning, swinging and missing on a breaking ball from Jeremy Hellickson. Instead of immediately showing disgust about the result, Cabrera's first instinct was to give Hellickson a thumbs up on the pitch.

You have to love Cabrera taking a second to give Hellickson some credit, even at his own expense.
