White Sox outfielder Melky Cabrera isn’t known for being a burner on the base paths, but he still has some nifty moves up his sleeve when needed.
During the fourth inning of the Tigers-White Sox game today, the Melk Man took advantage of a poor throw from Ian Kinsler and sidestepped Miguel Cabrera to awkwardly reach base. As you can see below, it looked like Melky was going to run right into a tag before he hit the juke button:

Juke is obviously a generous term here considering he basically ran around Miggy, but if that’s what the MLB is going with, we are too!

Sidenote: Looks like Miggy could’ve tried to tag Melky after that slight move towards second base.
