Yairo Muñoz runs hit streak to 35 games, breaking a 70-year-old Red Sox record

In likely his last chance at the plate Saturday, Triple A Worcester third baseman Yairo Muñoz lined a first-pitch single to right field, extending his hitting streak to 35 games and taking ownership of the longest run in Red Sox franchise history. Muñoz, who was 0 for 3 when he came up in the eighth inning against Syracuse at Polar Park, had hits in both ends of a doubleheader on Friday to match Dom DiMaggio’s 34-game hitting streak with the parent Red Sox in 1949.
