Former South Carolina standout Jackie Bradley Jr. of the Boston Red Sox extended his hitting streak to 27 games.

Bradley singled in the fifth inning Sunday against Cleveland at Fenway Park.

Dom DiMaggio set the Red Sox record with a 34-game streak in 1949. DiMaggio’s brother, Joe, owns the longest streak in major league history at 56 games.
