In the seventh inning of Monday night’s Colorado Rockies-Washington Nationals game, Nolan Arenado, Colorado’s superstar third baseman, hit a game-winning solo shot that meant more than just a 7-5 win.
Playing in his 898th game, he tallied a three-hit performance to notch his 1,000th hit, which came on the go-ahead home run. Only 1,315 players out of the over 19,000 to play Major League Baseball have recored 1,000 hits and Arenado became just the ninth in Rockies history to do so.
Nolan Arenado’s 1,000th career hit, a go-ahead solo blast for the Rockies. His 190th bomb.
