Japanese star Ichiro Suzuki became the 30th member of Major League Baseball's elite 3,000-hit club after blasting a triple in the seventh inning against the Colorado Rockies. The 42-year-old centre fielder launched a drive from Rockies reliever Chris Rusin high off the right field wall as the Miami Marlins won 10-7 on Sunday in Denver. Ichiro tied Roberto Clemente for 29th place on baseball's all-time hit list.
