Dee Gordon’s 12-game hitting streak with the Mariners and his 18-game hitting streak dating back to last season was snapped in Sunday’s 2-1 loss to the A’s.
Gordon went for 0 for 3.
But it took a ridiculous play from Oakland third baseman Matt Chapman and an instant-replay review that left a few folks grumbling for Gordon’s hit streak to end.
In the eighth inning, with the Mariners trailing by a run and pinch runner Andrew Romine on first base, Gordon tried to drop down a bunt for a hit on the third-base line against lefty Ryan Buchter.
