Sep 14, 2014 9:27 PM

Alex Rodriguez's two-run home run in the third inning on Friday night was the 127th home run at Yankee Stadium this season. The drive set a new team record at the Yankees' home park, breaking a mark (126) the team set in both 2004 and 2005. The major league record for homers at home is 153 by Texas at Ameriquest Field in 2005, according to STATS. Rodriguez's homer was the 225th at the new ballpark. The high at old Yankee Stadium was 215 in 2004.

Reynolds Breaks His Own Strikeout Record

Oct 31, 2014 4:48 AM

Diamondbacks third baseman Mark Reynolds broke his own strikeout record on Tuesday night. He struck out for the 205th time in the fourth inning against the Giants. He had set a new major league record with 204 K's in 2008. "So what?" Reynolds said when asked about the strikeout record. "So what?" Reynolds is hitting .266 with 43 homers this season. "Deep down inside, I'm sure it bothers him more than he likes to portray," manager A.J. Hinch said. "At the end of the day, he is 40-plus home runs and 100 RBIs. That's a productive season, for anyone to really focus on the strikeout record being reset. When that production is coming with the strikeouts, it's almost a moot point. We all want him to be a more productive player and strike out less, but when the production follows, it is hard to knock him."

Fielder Sets Milwaukee RBI Mark

Sep 19, 2014 4:01 PM

Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder recorded his 127th RBI against the Astros on Saturday, setting a team record. Current Houston manager Cecil Cooper previously held Milwaukee's record for RBIs in a season. He had 126 in 1983. "It was nice to get the job done and drive in a run," said Fielder after the game. "I've had a lot of opportunities over the past few days to drive in runs, but just haven't been able to get the job done." The Brewers defeated the Astros 7-2 in the game. "It is a special record," Fielder said. "He [Cooper] was one of the great first baseman for this organization."

Jeter Ties Gehrig's All-Time Hits Mark

Oct 31, 2014 8:40 AM

Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter tied Lou Gehrig's franchise record for hits on Wednesday night. Jeter, who had been stuck in a slump since approaching the record this past weekend, tied Gehrig with a single to right field in the bottom of the seventh inning. He took his helmet off twice, acknowledging a rabid crowd that would have cheered as long as the umpires allowed them. Jeter entered the game three hits away from Gehrig. He reached on a bunt single in the first inning and after grounding out in the third, drilled a ground-rule double to center field in the fifth. He now sits alongside Gehrig with 2,721 hits, more than any other Yankee in the team's storied history.
