Streak in Jeopardy
Rollins is 0 for 4 through seven innings. The Phillies are trailing 4-2 in the bottom of the eighth. He'll need a couple of batters to get on base to get a chance to bat in the bottom of the ninth.
Update: The Phillies went down 1-2-3 in the 8th. Rollins is due up fifth in the ninth.
Update: The Phillies go down 1-2-3 in the 9th as well. Rollins streak ends. Still 36 games in one season, and 38 over two is pretty impressive. Congratulations to Jimmy on a fine performance.
It's all the more impressive when you realize only 2 other players have had longer streaks in the 65 years since DiMaggio had his tear.
