DETROIT (AP) - Curtis Granderson hit his 20th home run on Friday night against the Seattle Mariners, making the Detroit Tigers outfielder just the sixth player since 1900 with at least 20 home runs, 20 doubles and 20 triples in one season.
"It was distracting me at the wrong time," Granderson said after Detroit beat Seattle 6-1. "I'm in the outfield, and there's a foul ball and I'm thinking about it."
Granderson joined the 20-20-20 club with Kansas City's George Brett (1979), Willie Mays of the New York Giants (1957), Cleveland's Jeff Heath (1941), St. Louis' Jim Bottomley (1928), and Frank Schulte of the Chicago Cubs (1911).
In just his second full season, Granderson leads the majors with 21 triples and has 36 doubles.
