Watch: Beltre joins exclusive company with game-winning HR
Kevin Sousa / USA TODAY Sports
Adrian Beltre's solo home run in the ninth inning Tuesday not only held up as the game winner, but it also put him among some exclusive company.
Beltre took Cleveland Indians reliever Cody Allen deep with two outs in the ninth inning to give the Texas Rangers a 2-1 lead, while also tying Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera as the only active players with 450 career home runs, according to ESPN Stats and Info.
Matt Bush would convert the save as Texas held on for a 2-1 win.
