For one day, for a few minutes, the Orioles turned their attention from their desperate position and the uncertainty around the trade deadline to a truly great player’s achievement.
In the fourth inning of the Orioles’ 10-6 win over the Texas Rangers before 32,437 at Globe Life Park, Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre lined a double down the left field line for the 3,000th hit of his stellar career.
Beltre became the 31st player in major league history with 3,000 hits, and the first born in the Dominican Republic.
