Williams Belts Number 400
It was a great day for Matt Williams, but not a good one for his Florida Marlins. The 30-year-old third baseman reached a personal milestone with his 400th career homer, but it wasn't enough to beat the Chicago Cubs, who came away with a 9-2 victory. Williams finished the day with 1 hit, 1 run batted in and 1 run scored.

"Well, I've conceded the fact that you can't will yourself to hit a home run," he said. "I tried hard for the last few days. It was getting to be embarrassing with the crowd standing up every time I came to the plate."

Williams has played in 1375 games and posted a lifetime .255 average. He has 1397 hits, 166 doubles, 24 triples and 400 homers. In addition he has driven in 1033 runs and scored 842 times.
