Bradley in Jeopardy

Jackie Bradley, Jr. just led off the eighth inning with a ground out, making him 0 for 4 in a game in which the Red Sox trail the Rockies 7-2. Bradley batted first tonight, I assume to give him more chances to get a hit. Boston will need some kind of rally, either in this inning or the ninth to get Bradley one more chance to extend his hit streak to 30 games.

Update: The game ends with Jackie Bradley, Jr. in the on-deck circle, so the hit streak is over at 29 games. The Red Sox lose 8-2, Xander Bogaerts does get a hit to extend his streak to 19 games, now the longest active streak in the majors.
