Craig Biggio struck again with another hit in the Astros 5-4 win over the Reds.

He now stands at 2961 for his career.

He is tied with Sam Crawford for 29th place on the all time hit list.

Crawford primarily played for the Detroit Tigers. He played 18 years in the majors, starting in 1899 with the Cincinnati Reds. He jumped to the Tigers in 1903, when the team began play. He remained with the Tigers until his retirement.
