Rangers slugger Beltre notches 3,000th career hit
Print Edition
TEXAS Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre joined Major League Baseball’s exclusive 3,000-hit club on Sunday with a double in the fourth inning of a 6-10 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.
Beltre, 38, is the 31st major leaguer, and the first from the Dominican Republic, to post 3,000 hits in a career.
Beltre, a 20-year major league veteran who has played with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox and Rangers, has a .286 career batting average and 454 home runs.
He is now one of just 10 players to amass at least 3,000 hits and at least 400 homers. He had moved within one of the milestone on Saturday.
He struck out in his first at-bat on Sunday, but with the Rangers trailing 0-4 in the bottom of the fourth he swung on a 3-0 pitch from Orioles pitcher Wade Miley and hit a hard ground ball past third base for a stand-up double.
The game halted briefly as Beltre was congratulated on the Arlington field by his teammates and his family.
The only other active player in the 3,000-hit club is the Miami Marlins’ Japanese outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, who is tied for 22nd all-time with Hall of Famer Craig Biggio at 3,060.
