ANAHEIM -- With his 1,864th and 1,865th RBIs, Albert Pujols surpassed Mel Ott for 10th on the all-time RBI list, according to Elias.
The Angels slugger launched a two-run home run off Kansas City rookie pitcher Jake Junis on Saturday night at Angel Stadium for his 602nd career homer, giving Los Angeles a 5-0 lead over the Royals in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Because RBIs became an official Major League statistic in 1920, Elias' tally begins at that date. Due to the uncertain nature of record-keeping in the early part of the 20th century, some discrepancies may exist between the stats provided today by different historical data providers.
