Nats’ Rodriguez hits 300th career homer

PHOENIX | Washington's Ivan Rodriguez has become the fifth catcher to hit 300 homers.

Rodriguez hit a solo shot to left off Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Rodrigo Lopez in the second inning Monday night to reach the milestone. He joins Mike Piazza (396), Carlton Fisk (351), Johnny Bench (327) and Yogi Berra (306) as the only catchers to reach the mark.
