McOwen, an outfielder drafted in the sixth round in 2007 out of Florida International, was 0 for 2 with a walk for Seattle's Class-A affiliate Friday night before grounding a single to center with two outs in the ninth. McOwen, who broke the California League record when he hit in his 36th straight game, has a way to go to reach the minor-league mark. Wichita's Joe Wilhoit hit in 69 straight games in 1919. Joe DiMaggio, who hit in a major league-record 56 consecutive games in 1941, has the second-longest minor-league streak with 61 games for the San Francisco Seals in 1933.
