Ichiro Suzuki hit a bloop single in the fifth inning on Monday night, allowing him to tie Babe Ruth for 38th place on the all-time Major League hits list since 1900 with 2,873.

The 41-year-old said he wasn't thinking about the milestone with the Miami Marlins undergoing a managerial change.

"Not with everything that went on today," he said. "I obviously heard about it afterwards. But it's one of those days that I just couldn't think about it."

Suzuki finished 2-for-4 with a walk to boost his season average to .287.

Next up on the all-time hit list is another Hall of Famer, Mel Ott, who has 2,876.
