MINNEAPOLIS — Jose Miranda of the Minnesota Twins singled in the fourth inning on 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,” said Miranda. “They are proud obviously, and I’m proud of them being there, too.”

The streak finally ended in the sixth inning when Houston’s Hunter Brown retired Miranda on a flyout to left field. Twins fans gave Miranda another standing ovation in appreciation of the record.

“There’s no real words,” Twins Manager Rocco Baldelli said. “You’ve just got to kind of stop talking and enjoy it. Never seen something like that go on, on a field, over the course of a few days, ever, anywhere.”

Miranda entered the game against the Houston Astros (Minnesota won 9-3) with 10 consecutive hits. In his first plate appearance, he was hit on the arm by a pitch from Brown. After being examined by the Twins training staff, Miranda remained in the game.

“I thought it was going to be a little more serious. It got me right here,” said Miranda, pointing to a spot toward the bottom of his hand, just below where he’s covered by a protective pad. “Thankfully, it wasn’t that bad.”

In the second inning, Miranda drove Brown’s first pitch into center field for an RBI single. In the fourth, he got another single to right-center to tie the major league record of 12 straight hits, accomplished by Johnny Kling in 1902, Pinky Higgins in 1938 and Walt Dropo in 1952.

“I know Jose very well and I’m happy for that run,” Astros Manager Joe Espada said. “I wish we were not here for part of it, but it’s pretty impressive stuff.”

DODGERS 5, BREWERS 3: Shohei Ohtani and Miguel Vargas hit solo shots in the eighth inning, Will Smith became the first Los Angeles player to homer in four consecutive at-bats in a decade, and the Dodgers beat Milwaukee at Dodger Stadium.

After Christian Yelich went deep to tie the game at 3-all in the top of the eighth, the Dodgers responded with two homers to win their second straight in the matchup of National League division leaders.

ANGELS 7, CUBS 0: Tyler Anderson threw eight dominant innings and Jo Adell homered to help Los Angeles end a five-game skid with a win in Chicago.

Anderson (8-8) gave up a leadoff single, then retired the next 13 Chicago batters before allowing another hit to cruise to his third win in his last five starts. The lefty matched his career-best 10 strikeouts and allowed just three hits with no walks.

BLUE JAYS 5, MARINERS 4: Yariel Rodríguez allowed one hit over six shutout innings for his first victory, Alejandro Kirk had three hits and drove in two runs and Toronto held off the Mariners in Seattle.

Rodríguez (1-3) had arguably the best start of his brief major league career and followed up on a terrific outing his last time out against Houston. Rodríguez went 6 2/3 innings allowing one run to the Astros earlier this week, then was even better against another AL West opponent.

RANGERS 4, RAYS 3: Slumping Texas second baseman Marcus Semien hit his first homer in nearly a month, a go-ahead shot in the seventh inning in the Rangers’ win over Tampa Bay in Arlington, Texas.

Semien, who earlier in the game walked and scored, was 3 for 42 over a 10-game span before his two-run homer with two outs against Kevin Kelly (2-1). The 422-foot drive to left-center was the 12th homer this season for the leadoff hitter, but his first in 23 games since June 9.

GUARDIANS 5, GIANTS 4: Major league batting leader Steven Kwan hit a solo homer and scored twice, Jhonkensy Noel homered and drove in two runs and the AL Central-leading Guardians beat San Francisco in Cleveland.

Kwan, who will start in the outfield at the All-Star Game, went 2 for 4 to raise his average to .365. He extended his interleague hitting streak to 11 games and is batting .413 against National League foes.

BRAVES 5, PHILLIES 1: Rookie Spencer Schwellenbach gave up only one run in six innings, Marcell Ozuna and Ozzie Albies hit two-run homers and the Atlanta Braves won at home.

Schwellenbach (2-4) outpitched Ranger Suárez (10-3) by allowing seven hits with no walks. The 24-year-old right-hander recorded six strikeouts.

METS 5, PIRATES 2: Luis Torrens had three hits, including a three-run double, and Edwin Diaz got the save after his 10-game suspension ended earlier in the day as New York won in Pittsburgh.

Torrens hit his double in the third inning to the deepest part of the park at the 410-foot sign in left-center to break a scoreless tie. The catcher also singled twice as the Mets snapped a three-game losing streak.

TIGERS 5, REDS 4: Pinch-hitter Wenceel Pérez hit a two-run homer and Mark Canha doubled home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning as Detroit locked up its first series win in two weeks, rallying to win in Cincinnati.

The Tigers won the first game Friday night by the same score. They won their first series since taking two of three from the Chicago White Sox June 21-23.

MARLILNS 4, WHITE SOX 3: Dane Myers had a go-ahead two run homer in the seventh inning and finished with three hits and three RBI as Miami beat visiting Chicago in a matchup of teams with the worst records in the major leagues.

Myers’ 420-foot drive off White Sox reliever Michael Soroka (0-9), his second homer of the season, erased a 3-2 deficit and scored Jake Burger, who had reached on a leadoff walk.

A’S 19, ORIOLES 8: Brent Rooker and Max Schuemann hit three-run homers and the Athletics had five home runs overall in a rout of Baltimore in Oakland, California.

The A’s homered in each of the first four innings for the first time since 2003, with Shea Langeliers and Tyler Nevin also leaving the park. Kyle McCann hit a two-run shot in the eighth. Oakland led 10-0 after two innings and 17-1 after six.

NATIONALS 14, CARDINALS 6: Top prospect James Wood launched his first career major league home run – a three-run shot – and added a two-run double for a career-high five RBI as Washington won at home.

Wood’s 383-foot three-run opposite field homer put the Nationals ahead 7-0 in the second inning. He has reached base in all six games as a National, tied with Ian Desmond (2009) for second overall in club history.

NOTES

RAYS: Wander Franco still faces legal repercussions from prosecutors in the Dominican Republic for allegations that he had a relationship with a 14-year-old girl.

The deadline for the prosecutors to press charges against the shortstop for the Tampa Bay Rays was Friday, six months after a judge ordered Franco to be investigated for committing sexual and psychological abuse of the minor.

Franco was released from prison on parole.

The law in the Dominican Republic allows a judge the power to grant an extra 10-days for the prosecutors and victims to present their conclusions.
