Ichiro Suzuki got his 1,000th career hit in the first inning, becoming just the third player since 1900 to reach the mark in less than 700 games. Suzuki reached it in 696 games after lining a single off the wall in right field in the bottom of the first inning. Chuck Klein reached the mark in 1933 after 683 games, and Lloyd Waner reached it in 1932 in 686 games. "Rather than thinking about the number 1,000, I was more concerned about the way I have been performing," Suzuki said through his translator.
