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.
