Whit Merrifield recorded a hit and scored a run in 12 consecutive home games from May 27-June 18. In doing so, he matched Johnny Damon (2000) for the second-longest such streak in Royals history, trailing only Royals Hall of Famer Willie Wilson, who hit and scored in 16 straight home games from July 31-September 10, 1979.
The only other player in the Majors to top Merrifield’s streak in 2016 was Detroit’s Ian Kinsler, who recorded a hit and scored a run in 13 straight home games from April 24-May 22.
