Ryan Braun hit the 250th home run of his career on Wednesday, one shy of Hall of Famer Robin Yount's Milwaukee Brewers record.

"Obviously, it's special," Braun said of pulling to within one home run of Yount. "I'm headed in the right direction. But right now we focus on us, focus on what we're trying to do as a team, and it's hard to enjoy any type of individual success when things are going the way they are as a team.

"Obviously, home runs are nice. It's challenging for us to score runs right now. But other than that, I never reflect on anything like that during the year."

Braun hit No. 250 in his 4,619th at-bat. Yount amassed his 251 homers in 11,008 at-bats.
