The 25-year-old accomplished the feat with an RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning during Saturday's 7-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

He reached the milestone in 806 career games, which is second fastest in franchise history behind Carlos Delgado's 714.

"That's a blessing," Guerrero told Sportsnet's Hazel Mae after the victory.

He added, "I try to help my team to win every time. I try to do it for my team, for the city, for the fans."

Guerrero's enjoyed a terrific season at the plate, slashing .320/.394/.545 with 28 home runs, 41 doubles, and 96 RBIs in 146 games.

Asked if the 2024 campaign has been the best season of his career, Guerrero responded: "I'm not done yet."
