Julio Rodriguez of Seattle Mariners sets new records in MLB. Details here
Julio Rodriguez, the standout baseball outfielder for the Seattle Mariners, achieved an extraordinary feat on Saturday night by securing his fourth consecutive four-hit game, a remarkable occurrence in the world of baseball. Over the course of his last four games, Rodriguez has accumulated an astounding 17 hits, etching his name into the annals of history. This accomplishment is particularly striking considering that Rodriguez is only in his second season in Major League Baseball (MLB).
In these recent performances, Rodriguez's hit count reads as four, four, five, and four hits respectively, accumulating a remarkable 17 hits overall. His batting average stands at an impressive .773 during this exceptional stretch. These 17 hits have now set a new record for the most hits in any four-game period in the history of MLB.
This surpasses the previous record held by Milt Stock, who managed to amass 16 hits back in 1925 while playing for the Brooklyn Robins, a predecessor of the present-day Los Angeles Dodgers. Julio Rodriguez also joins an exclusive club in MLB history, a club previously inhabited solely by Milt Stock in the 1925 season, by achieving four consecutive games with at least four hits. During the Saturday night clash against the Houston Astros, the Seattle Mariners clinched a decisive victory with a score of 10-3.
This triumph propels the Mariners to a season-high of 68-55, marking a notable 13-game advantage over .500. Their lead over the Toronto Blue Jays for the final wild card spot in the American League remains steady at 0.5 games. Following their conquest over Houston, the Mariners' standing sees them trailing the Astros by just 1.5 games for the coveted second wild card spot.
