Scott Segrin sends along this story about Casey McGehee collecting his ninth straight hit Thursday:

Casey McGehee set a franchise record with his ninth straight hit, going 4 for 4 and leading the Milwaukee Brewers over the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-4 Thursday.

McGehee had a solo homer, a two-run double, an RBI single and another single. His seventh-inning single off reliever D.J. Carrasco broke the team mark set by Ryan Braun in 2008.

McGehee started his 9-for-9 performance Tuesday night with a double in his last at-bat. He tied his career high with four hits Wednesday night, including a home run.

Casey is just three hits away from tying the consecutive hit record. McGehee is having an outstanding August, 17 for 43 so far with three doubles and four home runs. Too late to help the Brewers to a run at the division, however.
