ST. PETERSBURG -- Twins second baseman Brian Dozier extended his hitting streak to 15 games with a leadoff double Saturday night against the Rays at Tropicana Field.
The knock handed Dozier a share of the club record hitting streak to start the season, along with Kirby Puckett (1994) and Josh Willingham (2012). Dozier has now hit safely in 22 consecutive games, dating back to Sept. 22.
