With his hit tonight, Yovani Gallardo extended his current hitting streak to five games. It's the sixth hitting streak of at least five games by a pitcher in Brewers history, and the second streak by Yovani Gallardo. Here are the other streaks:
| Player | Streak | Date of First Game | Date of Last Game |
| Marty Pattin* | 6 | April 23, 1969 | May 20, 1969 |
| Yovani Gallardo | 6 | June 25, 2011 | July 30, 2011 |
| Jamey Wright | 5 | April 24, 2001 | May 14, 2001 |
| Wes Obermueller | 5 | May 29, 2004 | July 8, 2004 |
| Chris Narveson | 5 | July 23, 2010 | August 14, 2010 |
| Yovani Gallardo | 5 | July 26, 2012 | ? |
How long will this streak continue for Gallardo? Just two more games and he'll have the longest streak on this list.
* Note on Marty Pattin's streak - He did have a game during the streak where he was pinch hit for before having an at-bat. By MLB rules, this allowed his streak to continue.
