Dan Uggla wasted no time collecting a hit tonight, singling in two runs in the first inning. He’s the 36th player to reach 31 straight games*.
*The Almanac list streaks over multiple seasons, and I don’t think they should count the same as a single season streak.
The Braves lead the Marlins 5-0 in the top of the second inning.
Yup, has to be single season. Otherwise you get a media respite in Nov – Feb. (Media will hype it up in ST games.)
I don’t know, can you imagine the media hype over the summer is someone finished the season on a 55 game streak…?
