Rhys Hoskins Continues to Knock Runs In, Joins Elite Company

Related Topics: Rhys Hoskins

Philadelphia Phillies youngblood Rhys Hoskins went 2-for-3 with four runs batted in during Tuesday's 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. In doing so, he joined Albert Pujols as the only active player to accumulate 40 RBI before playing in his 40th major-league game, per the Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN.com).

The last time any player on the Phillies drove in 40 RBI across a 40-game stretch was back in 1954 when Del Ennis achieved the feat.

Hoskins came into Tuesday's contest on a 1-for-13 slump. However, his patience helped turn things around, looking at 30 pitches across his four at-bats to drive in his four RBI with a single and double.
