Despite the win it was a pretty poor night for a lot of Brewers tonight, and Rickie Weeks was no exception. Despite getting six plate appearances in the game Weeks failed to get a hit, ending his hitting streak at ten games.
This streak was the fourth time Weeks has put together hits in at least ten consecutive games. Surprisingly enough, he's never gotten a hit in the eleventh game. Here's a look at the four streaks:
Start | End | Games | AVG | OBP | SLG | Brewer record |
4/10/2006 | 4/22/2006 | 10 | .314 | .375 | .343 | 4-6 |
8/18/2007 | 8/30/2007 | 10 | .444 | .574 | .694 | 4-6 |
4/5/2010 | 4/16/2010 | 10 | .324 | .479 | .541 | 4-6 |
4/6/2011 | 4/17/2011 | 10 | .293 | .383 | .390 | 6-4 |
Two things surprised me from these numbers:
- First, three of the four streaks happened in April. The 2010 streak came in the Brewers' first ten games.
- Second, though, the Brewers are just 18-22 in these games, despite the fact that their leadoff hitter had at least one hit in all of them.
