ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Craig Biggio got another milestone hit, even though he's still a few shy of 3,000. This one finally put the Houston Astros ahead to stay.
Biggio's 2,996th career hit was a tiebreaking RBI double in the 10th inning, helping the Astros to a wild 12-9 victory over the Texas Rangers on Sunday night and avoid a series sweep.
Biggio finished 3-for-5 with a walk, getting the 41-year-old second baseman within four hits of becoming only the 27th player with 3,000. The double was the 658th of his career, No. 6 on the career list, and the most ever by a right-handed hitter.
