With two hits Wednesday, Ichiro Suzuki raised his career total in the Japanese and North American major leagues to 4,257, passing Pete Rose’s record (4,256) Major League Baseball total.

‘‘This wasn’t like a goal of mine to get to this point,’’ Suzuki said through a translator after the Miami Marlins’ 6-3 loss to the Padres in San Diego.

Suzuki had 1,278 hits for Orix in Japan’s Pacific League (1992-00) and has 2,979 with Seattle, the New York Yankees and Marlins. Rose was quoted recently by USA Today as saying: ‘‘I'm not trying to take anything away from Ichiro, he’s had a Hall of Fame career, but the next thing you know, they'll be counting his high-school hits.’’

‘‘Obviously, I've heard of Pete Rose’s comments, and he wasn’t happy about what they are saying about this record,’’ Suzuki said. ‘‘To be honest, this wasn’t something that I was a making out as a goal. It was just kind of a weird situation to be in because of the combined total.’’

Suzuki’s first hit Wednesday was on a dribble in the first. His second was a double into the right-field corner in the ninth.

‘‘For me, it’s not about the record,’’ Suzuki said. ‘‘It’s about my teammates and the fans.’’

Suzuki joined the Marlins ahead of the 2015 season.

‘‘If you could have 25 Ichiros, you would have 25 World Series rings.’’ said Marlins president David Samson. ‘‘He is a true humble professional who works as hard when he’s 0 for 5 as when he’s 5 for 5. That skill cannot be taught. In a world where sports athlete are rarely role models, Ichiro is a true role model off and on the field.’’
