Dahl triples his way into franchise history

Dahl's run ties the club record, set by Juan Pierre, who hit in his first 16 contests in 2000. It's one game shy of the MLB record, set by the Reds' Chuck Aleno in 1941.

The way Dahl extended the streak was particularly impressive.

With two on and one out, the Rangers sent lefty reliever Jake Diekman to face the left-handed-hitting Dahl and protect a 3-1 lead. Dahl had faced Diekman on Monday night in Denver and lashed a single on a slider.

Figuring Diekman would try to beat him with a two-seam fastball inside, Dahl waited for the pitch and roped it into the right-field corner.
