Velásquez Boosts Hit Streak to 20 Games Thursday, September 2nd, 2027 He did it again! Arturo Velásquez 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 Fairfield Flash were defeated 7-4 at Durham Bulls Athletic Park by the Albuquerque Cacti. During the recent streak, the 25-year-old catcher has remained quiet, sidestepping questions about it with ease. Whether for superstitious reasons or simply in an effort to avoid the spotlight, Velásquez 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." Arturo Velásquez grounded out in the 1st, singled in the 4th, grounded out in the 5th and grounded out in the 8th. This year Velásquez is hitting .313 with 15 home runs. |
