Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia has kept a strict routine during his 17-game hitting streak.
“The same meals every day,” Tapia said via interpreter Aaron Munoz, the team’s bullpen catcher. “Even when I go home, I eat the same pizza. Even on the road trip. I try to stay the same throughout this whole thing. … Mostly rice, chicken and beans. When I eat my pizza, I like bacon, extra cheese and pepperoni.”
Tapia’s “cheat” meals from Dominos are postgame celebrations during his breakout season. The 27-year-old outfielder’s hits streak, dating back to June 2, is the longest in the big leagues at present.
