Rodríguez, made history on Saturday night at Minute Maid Park.
Not only did he contribute significantly to the Mariners’ dominant 10-3 win over the Astros, but Rodríguez also shattered the AL/NL record for the most hits in a four-game span, tallying an impressive 17 hits.
“ I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Scott Servais on win, “Nobody in the history of Major League Baseball has seen anything like it. But what can you say? Julio is just smoking hot right now.”
His remarkable hitting streak of 17 hits in 22 at-bats has now surpassed Milt Stock’s long-standing record of 16 hits in 1925.
Moreover, Rodríguez’s exceptional talent was not limited to just hitting; he also managed to hit two homers and stole five bases during this extraordinary run.

The Seattle Mariners extended their winning streak to five games with a solid performance from pitcher Logan Gilbert and the powerful hitting of Dylan Moore.
Gilbert delivered six spectacular innings, allowing only two runs, while Moore’s pair of home runs provided the Mariners with the offensive firepower they needed.
This tremendous win heightened the Mariners by placing them back within 1 1/2 games of its second place in the American League West, giving them a valuable tiebreaker advantage over the Houston Astros.
With a convincing 7-2 head-to-head record and several crucial matchups left to play.
Meanwhile, the Yankees were swept, once again, by their rivals Boston Red Sox, making that chance of making the Playoffs even bleaker.
