Albert Pujols hit home run number 600 last night in grand fashion. Pujols became the 9th ballplayer in MLB history to reach the 600 home run club, and did it with a grand slam. Though it was a historic night for the one-time Cardinal, MLB went ahead and broke another record set back in 2000.

Seven grand slams were hit last night, breaking the previous record of six set on May 21, 2000. That day, the slams came off the bats of Garret Anderson, J.T. Snow, Brian Hunter, Jason Giambi, Shawn Green and Adrian Beltre, the only one of the group still playing in the big leagues today.

Last night’s slams were hit by Mike Zunino for the Mariners, Pujols for the Angels and No. 600, Kyle Schwarber for the Cubs, Matt Adams for the Braves, Ian Desmond for the Rockies, Travis Shaw for the Brewers and Chris Taylor for the Dodgers.
