Ichiro Suzuki has extended his Mariners' record by hitting safely in his 27th consecutive game. This is his seventh hitting streak of at least 20 games since the five-time major league hits leader arrived in Seattle for the 2001 season. That ties him with George Sisler for the fourth most 20-plus game hitting streaks. Willie Keeler, Ty Cobb, and Pete Rose had eight.

Astros' Miguel Tejada's single in the first inning extended the NL's longest active hitting streak to 17 games.

Rays' Carl Crawford stole two bases and leads the majors with 33 steals.
