After lining out in his first at-bat and walking in his second plate appearance Friday night at Seattle's Safeco Field, Albert Pujols reached the 3,000-hit milestone when he singled on a soft liner to right field with two outs in the fifth inning off Mariners starter Mike Leake.

Pujols went on to single in the ninth inning, passing Roberto Clemente for No. 31 on the MLB's career list with his 3,001st hit. He finished 2-for-4 with two RBIs in the Angels' 5-0 win.
