Beltre gets 3,000th hit in Rangers’ loss

Orioles 10 Rangers 6

ARLINGTON, Texas — Adrian Beltre doubled for his 3,000th career hit Sunday, reaching the milestone in the Texas Rangers’ 10-6 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.

The Rangers already were down 4-0 when the 38-year-old third baseman, who went 1 for 5 in his 2,771st game, had a hard hit down the line past third base in the fourth inning.

Beltre became the first player from the Dominican Republic, and 31st overall, to join the 3,000-hit club in the major leagues.

CUBS 4, BREWERS 2

In Milwaukee, Victor Caratini hit his first career home run, a solo shot that broke a tie in the seventh and backed John Lackey’s solid sixinning start to help Chicago beat the Brewers.
