Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants has now hit safely in 14 consecutive games.
Lee extended his career-best hitting streak by going 2-for-4 with a run and a steal against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago on Saturday (local time).
The Korean outfielder raised his batting average from .321 to .324, the fourth-best mark in Major League Baseball (MLB) with evening games still to be played.
Lee flied out in his first two trips to the plate before hitting a single in the top of the seventh inning off reliever Jacob Webb. He then swiped second base for his first steal of the season, though he was stranded.
