On August 12, 2010 — Milwaukee’s Casey McGehee’s last hit, a seventh-inning single, during his 4-for-4 performance in the team’s 8-4 victory over Arizona at Miller Park, establishes a franchise record. The Brewer infielder’s ninth consecutive hit breaks the club mark set by teammate Ryan Braun in 2008, but is three shy of the major league record of 12, accomplished by Pinky Higgins (1938) and Walt Dropo (1952).
McGehee hits a homer, a double, and two singles, drives in 4 and scores 3 runs to lead Milwaukee; two days ago, he hit a double in his last at-bat, and yesterday, he also went 4 for 4 with a homer. Randy Wolf is the winner over Rodrigo Lopez. McGehee will ground out in his first at-bat tomorrow to end the streak.
