08/04/2010 - Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez became the seventh player in Major League Baseball history to reach the 600- home run plateau, achieving the milestone in the first inning of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
With Derek Jeter on base and two away, Shaun Marcum threw a 2-0 fastball away. Rodriguez belted the pitch to dead center field and the crowd's cheers intensified on the home run's long way out.
Rodriguez at last reached the mark after having hit No. 599 on July 22 against Kansas City. He had gone 51 plate appearances since that home run and brought an 0-for-17 streak into Wednesday's contest.
The home run came exactly three years after he hit the 500th of his career, which he got off Kyle Davies in the first inning of a game against the Royals. Rodriguez also hit his 100th career home run against Toronto, doing so on August 12, 1998.
Rodriguez became the youngest player to reach 600 home runs. Hall of Famer Babe Ruth hit his at age 36, while Rodriguez turned 35 last week.
Rodriguez is the second player to reach 600 home runs in Yankee pinstripes, joining Ruth.
It was also Rodriguez's second career home run off Marcum. The first was also a two-run shot with Jeter on base.
Rodriguez joined the exclusive 600-homer club that includes Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755), Ruth (714), Willie Mays (660), Ken Griffey Jr. (630), and Sammy Sosa (609).
