Tolbert ties MLB record

Tyler Tolbert tied a major-league record on July 7, 2026 by recording hits in 12 consecutive plate appearances. Batting ninth, he finished 5‑for‑6 — including a two‑run homer in the second inning and singles in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh — and helped the Kansas City Royals rally to a 16–12 win over the New York Mets. The streak, which followed a five‑hit outing the night before, is one of the rarest hitting runs in MLB history.
