DETROIT -- Shin-Soo Choo doubled in his first at-bat Saturday against the Tigers at Comerica Park to extend his on-base streak to 46 games. That ties Julio Franco for the franchise record.
Choo got to 45 games Friday night by homering on the second of the pitch of the game. On Saturday, he hacked at the first pitch of the game and lofted it to deep right-center field for a double. Most hitters are able to leg out a triple on balls hit to the deepest part of Comerica Park, but Choo was visibly held up by the right quadriceps discomfort he's been dealing with.
