On July 6, 2024, Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda tied the MLB record for consecutive hits with a single in the fourth inning against the Astros. Miranda's 12th straight hit tied the record set by Walt Dropo (1952), Pinky Higgins (1938), and Johnny Kling (1902). Miranda's streak also made him the only player in the Expansion Era (since 1961) to achieve this feat.
Numbers can be deceiving.
