Albert Pujols had three hits on Thursday night against the Mariners, including the 450th home run of his Major League career.
It marked just his third three-hit game of 2012.
Pujols, 32, is the fourth-youngest player in baseball history to reach 450 home runs, behind Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr. and Jimmie Foxx.
"This game comes and goes. I think the main thing is to be positive all the time and continue to make sure to make good adjustments," he said. "Today I swung the bat pretty well, but tomorrow is a new day; you have to try to be consistent."
