Hitting Streak Still Alive for Rodríguez Saturday, June 10th, 2017 He did it again! Júlio Rodríguez got another hit and ran his hitting streak to 20. He collected 1 hit in 4 at-bats, but that wasn't enough to win the game. His Cincinnati Snaps were defeated 3-2 at The Studio by the Jacksonville Hellcats. During the recent streak, the 25-year-old right fielder has remained quiet, sidestepping questions about it with ease. Whether for superstitious reasons or simply in an effort to avoid the spotlight, Rodríguez preferred to shower praise on his team. He told reporters in the clubhouse after the loss, "We have a better ballclub than we showed today." "It's amazing to watch him hit right now, but I don't think anybody's really mentioning it," one of his teammates said. "So, we're trying to kind of keep that quiet... don't want to jinx him." Júlio Rodríguez flied out in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, doubled in the 6th and flied out in the 7th. For the season Rodríguez is currently batting .410 with 5 home runs and 16 RBIs. In 20 games he has reached base at a .477 rate and scored 17 runs to date. |
