DETROIT -- It was a milestone Wednesday afternoon for Astros All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman, who notched his 50th double, 100th run scored and 100th RBI in the fifth inning of a 5-4 win that completed a sweep of the Tigers at Comerica Park.
Bregman became the first Astros player to drive in 100 runs in a season since Carlos Lee in 2009 when he hit a two-run double in the fifth, scoring Jake Marisnick and George Springer to give the Astros a 3-2 lead.
The double was Bregman's Major League-leading 50th, making him the first Astros player to reach 50 doubles in a season since Lance Berkman had 55 in '01 and the first player to log the majority of his games at third base from any team to hit 50 doubles and 30 home runs in a season.
