All streaks come to an end eventually. The Boston Red Sox saw their streak of three consecutive division titles snapped earlier this week when they were officially eliminated from the AL East division race. Now another streak that stretches back to last year has faded away.
The Red Sox were held to a pair of base hits while getting shut out by the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. This snapped a 159-game streak with an extra-base hit that dates back almost a full year. The last time the Red Sox failed to record at least one extra-base hit in a game was September 14 of last year when they were shutout by Noah Syndergaard and the New York Mets.
