David Dahl is on the verge of history:

Dahl’s two-run triple in the eighth inning on Wednesday — which helped the Rockies gain a brief lead before a 5-4 loss to the Rangers at Globe Life Park — extended his career-beginning hit streak to 16 games since his Major League debut on July 25.

Dahl’s run ties the club record, set by Juan Pierre, who hit in his first 16 contests in 2000. It’s one game shy of the MLB record, set by the Reds’ Chuck Aleno in 1941.

It’s a strong streak, with seven of his 23 hits going for extra bases. I especially like that he has just one double, but three triples! It’s been a pretty good couple of week for offensive debuts, as Boston’s Andrew Benintendi is 9 for his first 20.
