In a World Series game where the Diamondbacks' offense came roaring to life, Arizona second baseman Ketel Marte etched his name in baseball history.
Marte's two-run single off Rangers pitcher Martín Pérez in the top of the eighth in Saturday’s Game 2 marked the 18th straight postseason game in which Marte has gotten a hit—the longest streak in MLB history.
The single broke a tie with three former All-Stars who hit safely in 17 straight playoff games: Yankees and Athletics right fielder Hank Bauer, Hall of Fame Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter and outfielder Manny Ramírez.
