With yet another multihit performance, Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants has extended his hitting streak to 18 games.
It's the longest active hitting streak in Major League Baseball (MLB).
Lee went 2-for-4 with a walk and a steal while scoring twice as the Giants walked off the Washington Nationals 11-10 at Oracle Park in San Francisco on Wednesday (local time). It was Lee's sixth multihit game of June and ninth during his streak.
Over his past 18 games, Lee is batting .500 (36-for-72) and has raised his average from .265 to .338, the second-best mark in MLB behind Otto Lopez of the Miami Marlins, who was scheduled to play an evening game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
