CHICAGO -- After each hit he collects, Astros infielder Alex Bregman flashes a sign to the dugout with his hands to indicate the number three. It doesn't indicate the RBIs or bases collected on his three-run triple on Tuesday, but instead a milestone he hopes to achieve before his first complete Major League season is over -- hit .300.
"It's just the kind of hitter I believe I am," Bregman said. "It's just a reminder to remind myself every time, every day, that it's the kind of hitter I am and to be confident about it.
