History could be made in the Orioles’ series finale against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night.
After recording two hits in Wednesday’s 10-2 Angels win, future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols is just two hits short of becoming the 32nd player in major league history to compile 3,000 career hits.
Pujols homered and doubled in Wednesday night’s game — both hits coming off Orioles starter Dylan Bundy — to bring him closer to the milestone.
He is already in elite company, becoming the ninth player to reach 600 career homers, and when he reached 3,000 hits, he will become just the fourth player to accomplish both of those feats.
