Ketel Marte has the longest hitting streak in postseason history at 18 games after a two-run single in the eighth inning of Game 2 of the World Series against the Texas Rangers. The switch-hitting outfielder for the Arizona Diamondbacks was hitless his first four at-bats before his two-out single. Marte already had the MLB record for the longest hitting streak to start a postseason career at 17 games. The Game 2 hit sent him past Derek Jerek and Hank Bauer of the New York Yankees and Boston’s Manny Ramirez for the longest overall streak. Texas slugger Adolis García went 0 for 3 with a walk to end streaks of five consecutive postseason games with a homer and seven in a row with an RBI.
