ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Adrian Beltre (BEHL'-tray) says reaching his 3,000th hit played out just as he hoped it would. It happened at home for the Texas Rangers all-star with his wife and children in the stands. Beltre, a 20-year veteran, is the first player from the Dominican Republic, and 31st overall, in the major leagues to reach 3,000. He reached the magic number with a fourth inning double in a 10-6 loss Sunday to the Baltimore Orioles.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Another ballpark brouhaha for Chris Christie. Carrying a basket of nachos, the New Jersey governor was caught on video confronting a Chicago Cubs fan on Sunday in Milwaukee against the Brewers. The video circulating on Twitter showed Christie leaning over to nearly get in the man's face. It was not known what sparked the beef. Christie was loudly booed on July 18 at Citi Field in New York after snagging a foul ball at a Mets game.
