ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – Gabe Kapler doubled in the second inning of Saturday night’s game against the Boston, setting a Texas Rangers’ record by stretching his hitting streak to 25 games.
Kapler’s double off the left-field wall also gave him the longest hitting streak in the majors this season. Arizona’s Tony Womack had a 24-game streak from May 2-29.
Mickey Rivers set the previous Rangers record in 1980, when he hit safely in 24 straight games from Aug. 14-Sept. 9.
