 HOUSTON (AP) - Craig Biggio kissed his wife, hugged everyone in sight and dragged former teammate Jeff Bagwell out onto the field to soak in the celebration. It was the perfect place for the Astros second baseman to get his 3,000th career hit.
Biggio reached the milestone number on Thursday night with a single to center field in the seventh inning against Colorado and then passed Roberto Clemente for 26th on the career list with the fourth of his season-high five hits in the ninth.
Carlos Lee's grand slam in the 11th gave the Astros an 8-5 win.
