Sunday, August 7th, 1994
Carlos Baerga of the Pittsburgh Pirates extended his hitting streak to 20 straight games with 2 hits in today's 4-2 triumph over the Chicago Cubs at Three Rivers Stadium.
"Carlos has been making it easy for me to pencil his name in the lineup every day," Pirates manager Stephen Ginter joked after the game. Carlos Baerga tripled in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th and singled in the 7th.
This season Baerga has banged out 143 hits in 477 at-bats for a .300 average with 23 home runs. He is getting on base at a .351 pace and his totals also include 85 RBIs and 72 runs scored.
