Miranda Ties MLB Record with 12 Consecutive Hits

Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda tied an MLB record by achieving hits in 12 consecutive at-bats, a feat last accomplished in 1952. His streak began with a single against the Detroit Tigers and continued through games against the Houston Astros, culminating in his record-tying hit in the fourth inning. The streak ended in the sixth inning with a flyout, but Miranda received a standing ovation from the fans. This performance elevated his batting average from .294 to .329 and helped the Twins maintain their position in the postseason race. Miranda joins the ranks of Johnny Kling, Pinky Higgins, and Walt Dropo, the only other players to achieve this milestone. Additionally, he set a franchise record by reaching base in 13 consecutive plate appearances.
