harold garcia sets new fsl hitting record

Yesterday Clearwater Threshers' second baseman Harold Garcia tied the Florida State League hitting streak, at 36 games. That record was set in 1951 by Joe Altobelli. Garcia extended his streak tonight, with an RBI single in the first inning of the Threshers' game with Daytona, setting a new record at 37 consecutive games. During Garcia's streak, which started on May 24, he is hitting .359. Not shabby at all. Keep it rolling, Harold!

Tonight, too, Kyle Drabek, traded to the Blue Jays last December in the Roy Halladay trade, pitched a no-hitter for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, the Jays' double-A affiliate. Way to go, Kyle!
