BOSTON — Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. had two hits to extend his hitting streak to 28 games as the Boston Red Sox beat the Colorado Rockies 8-3 on Tuesday night.
It’s the longest hitting streak in the majors this season and tied with Wade Boggs (1985) for the fifth-longest in Red Sox history. Dom DiMaggio holds the franchise record with a 34-game streak in 1949. DiMaggio’s brother, Joe, hit in 56 straight games in 1941 for the major league record.
Bradley lined the first pitch he saw from Jorge De La Rosa into left field to keep the streak going.
