Jorge Soler’s career-high 26-game on-base streak was snapped in Wednesday’s loss vs. Toronto. It was the longest active streak in the Majors and the longest by a Royal within one season since Billy Butler reached in 32 straight from May 31-July 5, 2013.
He hit .311/.432/.600 (28-for-90) with seven home runs and 20 RBI during the 26-game streak.
In 110 games through the end of July, he has a career-high 28 home runs and 73 RBI. That combination has not been matched by any Royal before Aug. 1 in Royals history.
He’s on pace for 41 home runs and 108 RBI, which would be three more homers than Mike Moustakas’ club record of 38 set in 2017, and would be the most RBI by a Royal since 2000, when Mike Sweeney set a club record with 144 RBI and Jermaine Dye had 118 RBI.
