Yesterday’s results

The hit streak of bj_hotfox_22 is up to 28 games, marking the second time this season that a fan has reached the halfway point to Joe D.’s hallowed record. The streak was extended with the pick of Atlanta’s under-the-radar shortstop Yunel Escobar (1-for-4), perhaps a sign that this participant has the know-how to keep this streak going for a long time.

In second place, eagles08 extended his streak to 27 games with the selection of Ian Kinsler (1-for-4), and jenner43wilson is also up to 27 games after tabbing Dustin Pedroia (2-for-4). Two more contestants enter the weekend with 23-game streaks.
