Miami outfielder Ichiro Suzuki went 3-for-5 with an RBI Monday to raise his average to .301 and move up in the 3,000-hit club list and take sole possession of 25th place, but the Atlanta Braves beat the Marlins 12-7.

At Turner Field, Ichiro doubled once and singled twice to improve his career hit total to 3,025, passing Lou Brock on the list of 30 elite players who have collected 3,000 or more regular-season hits in their careers.

"I've only heard of Brock. I'm still an active player so I'll soak it up and enjoy it when it's all over," said Ichiro.
