Vladimir Guerrero 22 game hit streak


 

Osvaldo Bido and three relievers combined on a two-hitter, Brent Rooker hit his 29th home run and the Oakland Athletics beat the Toronto Blue Jays 1-0 on Saturday for their ninth shutout of the season.

Toronto's Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singled in the first inning, extending his hitting streak to 22 games and matching the longest streak of his career, which he had in 2022. It is the longest active streak in the major leagues.

Guerrero went 1-for-4. He struck out swinging at a 103-mph fastball from right-hander Mason Miller in the ninth with the tying run at first base.
