2000th Hit for Puig Tuesday, September 8th , 2026 The Minnesota 5-4 loss to Detroit wasn't all bad. Something good came out it, at least for Yasiel Puig. As a consolation prize he got the 2000th hit of his career. The veteran Twins first baseman went 1-for-5 in the game and added his name to the coveted 2000-hit club. He was given a five-minute ovation by the crowd, which included his wife and family and quite a few former Twins teammates. "I could have scripted it better," Puig commented to the press after the game, "a win would have made it a lot more enjoyable. But what the hey... hit #2000 ain't so bad." His lifetime stats show that Puig has hit .293 and connected for 249 home runs. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
