Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts had a stolen base against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday to become the second player this season to steal 30 bases and hit 30 home runs.
Jose Ramirez of the Cleveland Indians also joined the 30-30 club this season.
Betts stole second and drawing a walk to lead off the second inning of Boston’s 19-3 victory over the Orioles in Game 1 of Wednesday’s doubleheader. He then stood and acknowledged a cheer from the sparse crowd.
Betts, who had two hits vs. the Orioles to raise his MLB-best average to .346, was not in the starting lineup for Game 2.
The 25-year-old Betts, who joins Jacoby Ellsbury (2011) as the only Red Sox players to join the 30-30 club, has 32 home runs this season.
The last time more than one AL player reached the milestone in a season was 2011, when Ellsbury and Ian Kinsler did it.
Betts is the 40th different player to reach the milestone, which has been accomplished 62 times.
