The Spokesman-Review

500

Strikeouts for Oakland’s Dan Haren. He struck out Ken Griffey Jr. in the first inning of Wednesday’s game against Cincinnati to reach the milestone.

1,000

Hits for Colorado’s Todd Helton inside Coors Field. Helton’s opposite-field hit against the Yankees made him just the fifth active player to collect 1,000 hits in one ballpark, joining Derek Jeter, Frank Thomas, Garret Anderson and Sammy Sosa.

295

Career wins for Mets left-hander Tom Glavine, who is winless in his last five starts and stuck on the number heading into Friday night’s start against Oakland. Glavine pitched well enough to win in the first three starts of the skid.

17

Errors for Seattle shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt in 66 games this year. He had 20 in 157 games last season.
