Jose Abreu slugged his 20th home run on Wednesday night, making him the third-fastest player to reach the mark in Major League history.

The Chicago White Sox slugger reached 20 homers in his 58th game, faster than everyone not named Wally Berger (51 games) and Mark McGwire (56 games).

"I wasn't aware of this happening, but it's a great thing and I welcome it," the 27-year-old said through a translator. "I'm just going to continue to help the team win, and that's what it's all about right now."

Abreu, a Cuban rookie, is hitting .269/.321/.608 this season.
