Los Angeles Angels slugger Albert Pujols passed another legend on his ascent up the home run leaderboard Saturday, connecting for his 574th career blast to break a tie with Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew for sole possession of 11th on the all-time list.

Killebrew, an 11-time All-Star and the 1969 AL MVP, smashed 573 home runs during his 22 major-league seasons, 21 of which were with the Twins. Pujols is in his 16th season.

The fifth-inning homer off Athletics lefty Dillon Overton was Pujols' 14th of the season and moves him within nine of reaching baseball's top 10. Next up on the list is Mark McGwire (583) and Frank Robinson (586).
