Jose Miranda of the Minnesota Twins singled in the fourth inning Saturday for his 12th straight hit in an at-bat, tying the longest streak in MLB history.
The fans at Target Field gave Miranda a standing ovation as the scoreboard and public address announcer informed them of the record. Miranda, a 26-year-old infielder from Puerto Rico, tipped his cap and waved in acknowledgement.
\"It felt great seeing the fans, obviously, showing me [support] with the standing ovation,\" Miranda said. \"They are proud obviously, and I\'m proud of them being there, too.\"
