Where it stands
Tyler Tolbert has matched an MLB record originally set in 1902 by recording hits in 12 straight plate appearances. This achievement occurred during a game in which the Royals rallied to defeat the Mets, despite the Mets scoring via a 'Little League home run.' Coverage from MLB.com, ESPN, and the Kansas City Star emphasizes the rarity of the feat, with the latter describing the streak as less likely than being struck by lightning twice.
Yahoo Sports and Cleveland.com also reported on the record-tying performance. Future coverage will likely monitor whether Tolbert can surpass the 1902 mark in subsequent plate appearances.
