Ichiro gets 200 hits

Ichiro Suzuki beat out an infield single to become the first player in major league history with at least 200 hits in nine straight seasons as the Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 5-0 for a doubleheader split Sept. 13.

In his second at-bat of the nightcap, Suzuki hit a slow roller to shortstop Elvis Andrus, beating his throw for No. 200 and driving in a run to make it 2-0.

Suzuki, who went 1 for 5 in the second game, received a standing ovation from the sparse crowd, stepping off first base and doffing his batting helmet to thank the fans.

He had been tied with Willie Keeler, who had eight consecutive 200-hit seasons from 1894-1901.

In the opener, Suzuki doubled in four at-bats, but Texas rookie Tommy Hunter threw a six-hitter for his first complete game and the Rangers hit three homers in their 7-2 victory. (AP)
