| Miguel Cabrera has reached another one of baseball’s most revered milestones. The Detroit Tigers star connected on his 3,000th hit on Saturday afternoon at Comerica Park. Cabrera poked a 1-1 fastball from Antonio Senzatela through the right side of the infield in the first inning, becoming the 33rd player to join the 3,000-hit club and third to do so as a member of the Tigers, along with Ty Cobb and Al Kaline. He’s just the seventh player in baseball to have 500 home runs and 3,000 hits, joining Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Rafael Palmeiro, Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez and Eddie Murray. READ MORE

| NOAA’s long-range weather forecasters have released their forecast for this summer. Those forecasters think the U.S. is in for a warm to hot summer.

Their forecast should give you the strong idea that finding a cool spot in America this summer might be hard. For Michigan, the June to August period has a slightly elevated chance of being warmer than normal. READ MORE ►Drought is officially gone in Michigan |

| As Michigan enters another spring tick season, the overall outlook feels a bit bleak. Over the past decade these biting arachnids have been expanding their range across the state, and while certain factors might make a particular year feel better or worse than others, more ticks begets more ticks — meaning, overall, the situation here will likely continue to get progressively more tick-y, experts say. “In general, if the weather conditions are conducive, each of our years from now on will get worse just because the ticks have become really established in several places in Michigan now,” says Jean Tsao, an associate professor at Michigan State University who researches ticks and tick-borne illness. “All these mini populations are just going to continue to reproduce.” READ MORE
