Whit Merrifield Ends Hit Streak At 31 Games
6 years agoKansas City Royals second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield successfully added his name to the record books by topping George Brett's hit streak, but he ended it right afterwards. Merrifield took over sole possession of the Royals' franchise-long hit streak at 31 games on Wednesday, but an 0-for-6 performance on Thursday brought the run to an end. Merrifield is the gold star in the Royals lineup, and he should continue to contribute all over the fantasy map, but for now, at least he won't have the pressure of history weighing on him. Expect another hit streak to start up momentarily.
