ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Los Angeles Angels slugger Albert Pujols surpassed Babe Ruth for fifth place in baseball history with his 1,993rd career RBI.
Pujols passed the Babe in the ninth inning on Saturday night with a solo homer to center field off Anthony Swarzak, though the Angels lost to the Seattle Mariners 6-5.
Earlier, Pujols had tied Ruth's mark in the third inning when he drove home Andrelton Simmons with a double off Seattle's Yusei Kikuchi.
The Angel Stadium crowd gave a standing ovation to Pujols, who acknowledged the cheers on second base with a wave of his helmet.
