Yesterday’s results

Derrek Lee and Miguel Tejada each picked up just one hit, but that was enough to boost the streaks of the BTS co-leaders to 32 games.

Other players who came through for the leaders included Todd Helton (1-for-3), Ryan Spilborghs (3-for-5) and the mighty Albert Pujols (2-for-4).


Just one fan fell out of the BTS Top 10, seeing a 25-game streak come to an end when Cristian Guzman went hitless in three official at-bats vs. the Padres.
