Craig Biggio became the 27th major leaguer to reach 3,000 career hits on Thursday night with a single to centerfield in the seventh inning.

The Astros second baseman was thrown out trying to stretch the play into a double on his third hit of the night against the Colorado Rockies at Houston's Minute Maid Park. Biggio is the first player in two seasons to reach 3,000 hits. Rafael Palmeiro accomplished the feat on July 15, 2005, with Baltimore.

The 41-year-old Biggio, who entered the season needing 70 hits to reach the milestone, has played his entire 20-year career with the Astros, making him the longest tenured player in franchise history.

He is tied for 26th on the career hit list with Robert Clemente. The Astros and Rockies were tied in the bottom of the ninth inning at 4-4. Houston entered the game as a -162 favorite on the moneyline.
