Astros 1B Berkman hits 300th homer (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Houston first baseman Lance Berkman hit his 300th career home run on Saturday. With a runner aboard in the sixth inning, Berkman hit a 1-0 delivery from Arizona's Jon Garland into the right-field seats to give the Astros a 3-1 lead. It was Berkman's team-leading 12th homer this season, and it came two batters after teammate Miguel Tejada had singled home a run for his 2,000th career hit.
