Ichiro Extends Hitting Streak to 26 Games
By wchung | 06 Mar, 2025
Ichiro Suzuki has set the Seattle Mariners’ record by hitting safely in his 26th consecutive game.
The eight-time All-Star chopped the third pitch of the game from Baltimore Orioles rookie David Hernandez to the right of shortstop Cesar Izturis. Izturis’ rushed throw pulled first baseman Ty Wigginton off the bag, but Suzuki had already beaten the toss.
Some in the small crowd gave him a standing ovation as his record was announced.
The hit was his major league-leading 23rd infield single, and 15th in his last 24 games. He leads the major leagues by far in that category.
This is his seventh hitting streak of at least 20 games since he arrived in Seattle for the 2001 season.
