Twins' Donaldson scores 2 millionth run in MLB history

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson etched his name in the history books Saturday when he crossed home plate against the Kansas City Royals in the first inning thanks to a ground-rule double from Nelson Cruz.

Donaldson scored the two millionth run in Major League Baseball history, the league announced.

Though the 35-year-old's run is being celebrated as a historic one, the two millionth run may have already occurred, according to MLB.com's Sarah Langs; Langs notes the pending inclusion of Negro League stats in major-league record books could change how the run is eventually credited.
