Miami Marlins outfielder Ichiro Suzuki tripled on Aug. 7 to reach 3,000 career hits in the major leagues.

The hit in the finale of a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies tied Suzuki for 29th on the majors' all-time hit list with Roberto Clemente.

"The moment I did it, my teammates and fans congratulated me. To me the fact that I can make people happy through what I do is more important than getting 3,000 hits. I always knew that but it was reconfirmed today," said Suzuki. (Kyodo)
