200 Hits
Ichiro Suzuki is the eighth player in baseball history to collect 200 hits in seven or more seasons. The list:
| Name | No. |
| Pete Rose | 10 |
| Ty Cobb | 9 |
| Lou Gehrig | 8 |
| Paul Waner | 8 |
| Wade Boggs | 7 |
| Charlie Gehringer | 7 |
| Rogers Hornsby | 7 |
| Ichiro Suzuki | 7 |
Suzuki singled in the first and homered on a 2-0 pitch to right-center in the third to give the Mariners a 2-1 lead. It was Suzuki's sixth homer of the year and extended his own major league record for consecutive 200-hit seasons to begin a career to seven.
The major league record for consecutive 200-hit seasons is eight by Willie Keeler (1894-01). Suzuki matched the AL mark held by Wade Boggs (1983-89).
Suzuki entered the day leading the majors in hits.
