NEW YORK -- Matthew Holliday has a room at home that's under construction, where he's going to store the mementos from the milestones he keeps reaching with the Yankees.
Holliday launched the 300th homer of his Major League career in the first inning of Wednesday's 8-6 win at Yankee Stadium, a three-run shot off the Blue Jays' Marcus Stroman onto the netting above Monument Park in center field.
"It's a cool mark," the designated hitter said after the game. "Three-hundred home runs -- if you told me as a kid I'd get 300 Major League home runs, I'd be pretty thrilled."

Earlier this season, Holliday collected his 2,000th career hit with a first-inning single on April 8 at Baltimore.

Wednesday's blast secured Holliday's place as the 93rd player to notch both 300 homers and 2,000 hits, joining Jose Pujols, Jose Cabrera, Carlos Beltran and Adrian Beltre as the active players who have done so.
Holliday's blast pulled the Yankees to within 4-3. It came off the bat at 111.5 mph and traveled a projected distance of 446 feet, according to Statcast™, making it Holliday's second-hardest-hit homer and second-longest homer of the year.
Holliday is the 14th player to hit his 300th home run as a Yankee, and the first since Mark Teixeira did so on June 30, 2011. He's the 142nd Major Leaguer to hit 300 homers. Before signing with the Yankees this past offseason, Holliday played for the Rockies (128 homers), the A's (11) and the Cardinals (156).
"I'm sure it means a lot," manager Joe Girardi said of Holliday hitting No. 300. "And I'm sure he got the ball because of where it landed. That probably even means a lot too, so it was a smart place to hit it."
The 37-year-old finished a hot homestand strong -- he's now 9-for-26 (.346) with three homers and eight RBIs in his last six games.
"It's something that a lot of people have been involved with," Holliday said of his latest benchmark. "I've had a lot of great coaching and support and teammates. You think about all the people who have been part of your baseball career, and it's pretty cool."
