In his 502nd game as a second baseman, Dan Uggla beat Alfonso Soriano to the 100 home run mark at the position by 34 games. "I knew I was going to reach the mark this year, and I knew it would be pretty cool when I did it, but now it's a relief to get it over with," Uggla said. "The fastest as my position? That wasn't brought to my attention until [Monday]. It's pretty special."
