MIAMI (AP) — Florida shortstop Hanley Ramirez pushed his RBI streak to 10 games Wednesday, hitting a two-run double in the third inning against Washington and extending his team record.
Ramirez dropped a soft two-out hit into short right field, allowing Chris Coghlan to score from third base and speedy Emilio Bonifacio to come all the way around from first.
It was the 22nd and 23rd RBIs for Ramirez since the streak began.
The previous Marlins record for consecutive games with an RBI was eight, shared by five players. The major league record is 17, set in 1922 by Ray Grimes of the Chicago Cubs.
