More History

Besides Cabrera's first grand slam, he also "became the third active player to reach triple-digit RBI in each of the past four seasons."

But not only that, Miguel became "the third-youngest batter in baseball history with four consecutive 100-RBI seasons, trailing only Mel Ott and Ted Williams. He is the youngest right-hander in baseball history with four 100-RBI seasons in a row."

And not only that, but on Friday "Kevin Gregg became the fourth different Marlins pitcher in as many years to close at least 30 games. Armando Benitez (47) started the run in 2004 and it continued with Todd Jones (40) and Joe Borowski (36).

"According to the Elias Sports Bureau, no other team in major league history has had four different 30-save closers in a four-year span."
