Albert Pujols hit a three-run home run on Tuesday night to become Major League Baseball's all-time home run leader among foreign-born players.

Pujols has clubbed 610 homers in his career, passing fellow Dominican Sammy Sosa for the distinction and taking sole possession of eighth place on the all-time list.

"It's pretty special," Pujols said. "Obviously other great players from the Dominican Republic, Latin America, Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, they've gone through the big leagues, and to be able to accomplish something like this is very humbling. I want to thank God for giving me the ability and the talent and the opportunity to be able to do it and win. For me, I go out there and do whatever it takes to help this ballclub win every day. I don't think about home runs or any numbers."
