- Updated: July 29, 2016
MIAMI — Ichiro Suzuki crept into the batter’s box and extended his bat-wielding right arm in his signature move Thursday night. The 25,060 fans at Marlins Park went to their feet chanting his name, hoping to witness a piece of history.
The pinch-hitting Ichiro delivered, notching his 2,998th career hit — a one-out double down the right-field line off Jonathan Broxton in the seventh inning of Miami’s 5-4 loss to the Cardinals. Ichiro is now just two away from the 3,000-hit milestone.
The Marlins announced after the game that Ichiro would be in Friday’s starting lineup, giving him a good shot to make history at home.
